A prairie pothole is a shallow seasonal wetland where water gathers in depressions formed by glacier activity. These depressions were created during the most recent major advance of the North American Laurentide ice sheet (Wisconsin Glacial Episode), 10,000 years ago.

The praire pothole region is 276,000 sq. mi. of the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta; and the US states of Minnesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, and Montana. The potholes are important habitates of migratory waterfowl.

Kettle lakes is another name for potholes.
