Kelley's Island's glacial grooves are a National Natural Landmark. They were developed around 18,000 years ago during the last Ice Age and are the world's largest known glacial striations. Glacial striations are typically generated when boulders and gravel are dragged across bedrock by the great weight of a glacier. These natural markings are used by geologists to establish the direction in which the now-melted ice previously flowed.
EditAs the glacier travels downstream, it gouges or scratches grooves and striations into the bedrock. When glaciers move across the land, they pick up boulders, soil, and other debris and pull it with them. As the ice crawled over Kelleys Island's soft limestone bedrock, these tougher fragments of rock gouged the grooves that we see today.

I had a terrific time wandering around with my buddies. If you're interested in geology or our country's natural background, you should check out the grooves. The landscapes were so beautiful that you forgot you were on a little island! We were also able to go through some of the more narrow trails and even go bug spotting, which was a lot of fun.
