Lake elevation[edit]

The article says the surface "water level was at 605 feet (184 m) above sea level, creating a single body of water". This needs some more precision; is it above the sea level at the time or does it mean to say the lake shorelines at that time correspond roughly to an elevation of 605 ft above the present-day sea level? The levels of both land formations and sea were rising rapidly towards the end of the glaciation and (especially land rebound) for millennia after the ice had pulled back. I honestly doubt that this prehistoric lake stood 200 m above the Atlantic sea level at the time when the ice front was immediately to its north, the entire basin and the shield to the north of it would have become very depressed during the many thousand of years of glaciation and in any case elevations were shifting fast at that time, but the data need to be more clear as to what they really mean. 83.254.154.164 (talk) 18:01, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Different from Lake Algonquin (New York)?[edit]

Is this different from Lake Algonquin (New York)? If so, should that be a tag? Trilotat (talk) 23:47, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They are different ...this lake no longer exists .--Moxy 🍁 02:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Radiocarbon years gratuitously conflated with calendar years.[edit]

This error is being propagated naihely throughout academia. Lake Algonquin existed between ~14600-13800 cal.YBP. 149.20.180.31 (talk) 11:58, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
