An oxbow lake starts out as a curve, or meander, in a river. A lake forms as the river finds a different, shorter, course. The meander becomes an oxbow lake along the side of the river. Oxbow lakes usually form in flat, low-lying plains close to where the river empties into another body of water. On these plains, rivers often have wide meanders. They are stillwater lakes. This means that water does not flow into or out of them. There is no stream or spring feeding the lake, and it doesnt have a

The Shared Mind on Instagram: "An oxbow lake forms when a river slowly changes its shape over time. Rivers naturally curve as flowing water erodes the outer banks of bends and deposits sediment along the inner banks. As these bends grow more extreme, two curves can move closer together, creating a narrow neck of land between them. During a flood or period of strong flow, the river may cut straight through this narrow neck, choosing the shorter path. When that happens, the old curved section is l
