Description


Purgatory Chasm State Reservation

Several theories have been proposed to account for the chasm's creation.[4] According to one, the chasm was created when glacial meltwater from a burst ice dam ripped out blocks of bedrock at the end of the last Ice Age (14,000 years ago).[3] Purgatory Chasm was declared a state park in 1919.
