Kettle Hole...Lake Ronkonkoma?


Lake Ronkonkoma...Actually, this is not a lake.
Geologically, it is a kettle hole.
What is a kettle hole, you ask?
Long ago, when glaciers covered a large part of the earth, a glacier covered the northern section of Long Island.
As the glacier moved, it carved out this large hole, now Lake Ronkonkoma.
In some spots, it is approximately 80 ft. deep!
