A kettle lake is a shallow body of water formed by receding glaciers or draining flood waters. Chunks or blocks of ice break free and soil, rocks, and gravel filled in around the ice. When the block of ice melted, some of the debris falls into the hole, creating a sediment filled basin. When a kettle is filled with water, it is called a kettle lake.
