The lake is 47 acres large arid approximately 8 feet deep. It originated during several glacier building events of the Pleistocene as a hanging lake. Lateral moraines of. the receding Chicago Creek glacier closed the drainage of this shallow basin to the lower levels of Chicago Creek, merely leaving a small intermittent stream.
