Lyons Lake is a kettle hole lake. A kettle hole lake is a lake formed by a glacier. The kettle hole is formed by the glacial drift. Glacial drift is a combination of dirt, rock, ice and boulders that are left behind by the glacier. The chunks of ice make a round pit and the ice melts and water goes into the pit.
