Lake Kankakee formed 14,000 years before present (YBP) in the valley of the Kankakee River. It developed from the outwash of the Michigan Lobe, Saginaw Lobe, and the Huron-Erie Lobe of the Wisconsin glaciation. These three ice sheets formed a basin across Northwestern Indiana. It was a time when the glaciers were receding, but had stopped for a thousand years in these locations. The lake drained about 13,000 YBP, until reaching the level of the Momence Ledge. The outcropping of limestone created an artificial base level, holding water throughout the upper basin, creating the Grand Kankakee Marsh.

  • Озеро Канкаки (англ. Lake Kankakee) — водоём, образованный за 14 000 лет до настоящего времени в долине реки Канкаки, развился путём вымывания долины Мичигана, доли Сагино и доли Гурона-Эри в Висконсинском оледенении. Эти три ледяных щита сформировали бассейн через . В это время ледники отступали, но остановились на тысячу лет в этих местах. Озеро осушило около 13 тыс. лет до н. в., пока не достигло уровня уступа Моменс. Обнажение известняка создало искусственный базовый уровень, удерживая воду по всему верхнему бассейну, создавая Большое болото Канкаки. (ru)
