About 15,000 to 12,000 years ago the Continental Ice Sheet moved down from Canada spreading across the lake and rivers. Glacial Ice filled this basin as far as you can see, blocking the Clark Fork River. Only the mountains above 4,500 feet in elevation would have been visible from the top of the glacier.
