The bottom of Round Lake is about 180 feet (55 m) below its surface. Round Lake's bottom lies in sediments which may be another 150 feet (46 m) deep. There is thus nearly 500 feet (152 m) gouged out of the bedrock here. [30] This deep gorge was formed towards the end of the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago, by an enormous river of water ...
