Glacial Lake Iroquois; 13,000 – 10,500 YBP [5] and covered all of the Ontario basin and southward across central New York, reaching to the Finger Lakes. [1] Finger Lakes of New York plus 12 minor lakes [6] Dansville Lake in the Canaseraga valley [6] Scottsburg Lake in the Conesus valley [6] Naples Lake in the Canandaigua valley [6]
Early Lake Erie was a prehistoric proglacial lake that existed at the end of the last ice age approximately 13,000 years ago. The early Erie fed waters to Glacial Lake Iroquois . The ancient lake was similar in size to the current lake during glacial retreat, but for some period the eastern half of the lake was covered with ice.
Lake Agassiz (/ ˈ æ ɡ ə s i / AG-ə-see) was a large proglacial lake that existed in central North America during the late Pleistocene, fed by meltwater from the retreating Laurentide Ice Sheet at the end of the last glacial period.
Very large lakes were formed along the glacial margins. The ice on both North America and Europe was about 3,000 m (10,000 ft) thick near the centers of maximum accumulation, but it tapered toward the glacier margins. Ice weight caused crustal subsidence, which was greatest beneath the thickest accumulation of ice.
Nipissing Great Lakes was a prehistoric proglacial lake. Parts of the former lake are now Lake Superior , Lake Huron , Georgian Bay and Lake Michigan . It formed about 7,500 years before present (YBP).
The ice continued northward forming the next phase of Lake Chicago. The lake level remained at 640' above sea level, [3] but the ice margin was a third of the way north, opening a channel across Michigan, draining the Lake Saginaw and Lake Whittlesey proglacial lakes in the Lake Huron and Lake Erie basins.

The Seven Rila Lakes in Rila mountain, Bulgaria, are of glacial origin. The Great Lakes as seen from space. The Great Lakes are the largest glacial lakes in the world. The prehistoric glacial Lake Agassiz once held more water than contained by all lakes in the world today. A glacial lake is a body of water with origins from glacier activity ...
The glaciers of the Ice Age soon began to block the Teays, effectively damming the river and forming Lake Tight, near what is now Chillicothe, Ohio. The lake has been the repeated topic of research over the past 100 plus years. In geologic terms, the lake's life span was short; the lake appears to have formed in the Lower or Middle Pleistocene.
