These glacial potholes at Salmon Falls were formed during the last ice age. There are around 50 of them, the most in a single area, ranging from 6 inches to about 40 feet in diameter.
They were formed when rocks manages to get stuck in cracks in the river bed and the force of the river caused them to spin in place, which made the rocks drill these potholes.
