Route 20 is a fine drumlin field.

Drumlins are Ice Age hills, deposited and shaped by moving glaciers. There are never just one of them; there are always many. Hundreds of them stretch east to west along Rt. 20. Read the summer issue of Kaatskill Life and then go out and visit this field.

Back at the end of the Ice Age there were great, torrential floods which occurred as the result of the breaking of glacial dams.

Read about this in the current (autumn)issue of Kaatskill Life.
