 Carolina Bays
Carolina bays are isolated wetlands in natural shallow depressions that are largely fed by rain and shallow groundwater.
Although many Carolina bays are temporary ponds that hold water only part of the year, these wetlands host a variety of wildlife, providing valuable habitat for such animals as frogs, salamanders, turtles, snakes and alligators.
Researchers believe Carolina bays are 30,000 to 100,000 years old or older, yet scientists are not certain of their origins.

The formations underlying the surficial sediments are seldom exposed and have clay mineral compositions distinct from the composition of the bay clays.
