In geology , a proglaciallake is a lake formed either by the dam ming action of a moraine or ice dam during the retreat of a melting glacier , or by meltwater trapped against an ice sheet due to isostatic depression of the crust around the ice. At the end of the last ice age approximately 10,000 years ago, large proglacial lakes were a widespread feature in the northern hemisphere. In some cases, such lakes gradually evaporated during the warming period after the Quaternary ice age. In other cases, such as Glacial Lake Missoula and Glacial Lake Wisconsin in the United States, the sudden rupturing of the supporting dam caused glacial lake outburst flood s, the rapid and catastrophic release of dammed water resulting in the formation of gorges and other structures downstream from the former lake. Good examples of these structures can be found in the Channeled Scablands of eastern ... of Eastern Washington ref In Great Britain, Lake Lapworth , Lake Harrison and Lake Pickering were examples of proglacial lakes.

Unreferenced date January 2012 Lake Hitchcock was a glacial lake that formed approximately 15,000 years ago in the late Pleistocene epoch. After the Laurentide ice sheet retreated, glacial ice melt accumulated at the terminal moraine and blocked up the Connecticut River , creating the long, narrow lake.

At its longest, Lake Hitchcock stretched from the moraine dam at present day Rocky Hill, Connecticut , to St. Johnsbury, Vermont about Convert 320 km mi . Although the rift valley through which the river flows above Rocky Hill actually continues south to New Haven, Connecticut New Haven , on Long Island Sound , the obstructing moraine at Rocky Hill diverted the river southeast to its present mouth at Old Saybrook, Connecticut Old Saybrook . Lake Hitchcock is an important part of the geology of Connecticut .
