REMARKS: Glacial lakes perched 160 feet above the Susquehanna River on poorly drained sand and gravel deposits drain into this bowl-like "plunge pool." These lakes and "pool" were originally formed by glacial meltwater during late Wisconsinan deglaciation.
The waterfalls tumbling into this bowl-like depression make this a very scenic site.
