 The rocks are from the glacial till and similar to the soil

 exposed by the road east of the hotel. In front of Lake 

 Clear Inn at station 3, the glacial till and sand have been 

 washed away, leaving a small exposure of anorthosite 

 rock. Around stations 6 and 11 large rocks and glacial 

 till are common. The character of the soil in these three 

 areas determines the spawning habits of at least three.

 as Spawning-bed Point on the oldest maps, although the 

 frost fish are the only ones that are known to spawn there
