[3] According to White, "kames were formed by meltwater which deposited more or less washed material at irregular places in and along melting ice.
"[4] With the melting of the glacier, streams carry sediment to glacial lakes, building kame deltas on top of the ice.
They tend to slope downvalley with gradients similar to the glacier surface along which they formed, and can sometimes be found paired on opposite sides of a valley.
This park is on the National Registry of Natural Landmarks due to geological history and presence of significant kames, eskers and kettles.
In Ontario, there are two provincial parks, both designated as IUCN nature reserves, which were created to protect important and undisturbed kame features.
