Glacial Lake Upham
Glacial Lake Upham was formed in the wake of the retreat of the St. Louis Sublobe of the Des Moines Lobe. It drained through a series of successively lower outlets to Glacial Lake Duluth, culminating in the Saint Louis River. Its former lake bed is now a broad boggy area comprising much of the watershed of the latter stream.

Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
