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

This phenomenon typically occurs in the middle to lower course of a river. Why does this happen? Because in these areas, vertical erosion is replaced by lateral erosion, and deposition becomes more prominent across the floodplain or flat land beside the river. The process of meander formation occurs
