Lake Annie

Outwash Quarry

Apple Maps

This is a pristine, privately owned, kettle lake that is slowly evolving to become a bog.  It is surrounded by outwash deposits and a gravel quarry has been operating there for more than a decade. It is possible to visit both but permission must be requested and the quarry is concerned about liability issues when the quarry is active. Lake Annie is a spectacular jewel with a classic succession of ecosystems surrounding the lake core--a very calm environment.  The quarry exposes bedded post glacial stream gravels, cobbles, boulders, pebbles, sands and silts, showing a typical outwash deposit, mostly above the water table. In the past such occurrences were used as landfills, but this practice is now more regulated to protect groundwater.
