The geology of northern New Jersey was heavily influenced by three separate cyclical periods of glacier flows during the Ice Ages, with the last intrusion occurring s years ago when glaciers expanded from the north and then retreated as the climate warmed.

The glacial flows pushed boulders, rock and soil in their path, carved valleys.
