At Luzerne the Sacandaga river, flowing from the west, empties 

 into the Hudson. When, in late glacial times, the ice front had 

 receded as far as Luzerne, the Sacandaga waters began pouring into 

 Lake Corinth. It is believed that the access of these waters pro- 

 duced strong, southward-moving currents in the lake, sufficient to 

 sweep away a portion of the morainic dam and to produce the 

 erosive and delta-building effects above described.
