Actually, the name Canajoharie is Mohawk Indian (Iroquois Nation) for "the pot that washes itself". This structure is a caldera or pot-hole caused in times of high, fast water by stones whirling around a natural hole or depression and "scouring" it out ever deeper and deeper. This one was partially filled in at some point to make it less dangerous.

So...tell me something I DON'T know. :0P
There is the possibility that the hole could have been filled in a bit in recent times. I believe the current maximum depth is roughly eight to ten feet.
