Pebble rocks — The coloured stones of lake McDonald are entirely the credit of the planet. The colour of the pebbles is due to the iron content in sedimentary pebble rocks and the degree of its oxidation. So, for example, where iron was in close contact with air, red colours prevail there. But green colours are typical for stones formed at great depths, where oxygen is very limited.

Colorful rocks — Initially, rocks were formed for millions of years and, depending on conditions, acquired those very amazing colours. Subsequently, these lake rocks were ground into small coloured pebbles by giant ice blocks during the Ice Age. Streams of meltwater brought coloured stones into the valley, which was filled with glacial runoffs.
Mcdonald lake Montana — Another feature of the lake is its indescribable purity, which puts it on a par with such clean bodies of water as, for example, The Verzasca River in Switzerland. The purity of the water in lake McDonald is due to its temperature, which never rises above +10 degrees Celsius. Such conditions do not allow plankton to reproduce and survive here, hence the water's transparency. The bottom lake can be seen at a depth of 8-10 meters and sometimes deeper.
