Natural Features
The signs that glaciers once covered this area are readily apparent
from the topography with its abundance of eskers, kames, kettles
and moraines. Eskers, kames and moraines are differently shaped
features consisting of gravel or sand deposited by the melting waters
under a retreating glacier. Kettles were formed when great blocks
of glacial ice broke off and left deep impressions in the earth.
All of these landforms are covered by a layer of clay, deposited
by a vanished lake.
Other outstanding natural features in the park include a 26-metre
waterfall, and a stand of 300-year-old red pine.
