🧊 Hills from Ice

Huge ice sheets shaped the lakes and hills.

Brighton Recreation Area covers 4,947 acres of hills and lakes.

Pinckney’s landscape is a terminal moraine, a ridge left when a glacier stopped and melted.

Glaciers scraped the land, dropped rocks, and left holes that filled with water and became lakes.
