an ox bow lake is a formation, not a single entertity. it occurs when a river meanders (horozontal erosion) and becomes so great that when the water seeks the fastest route- it cuts across the meander, naturally straightening the river chanel out again, and leaving a horse shoe shaped lake left on its own, which ususally matures into a lagoon or something. there is no 'the ox bow lake' there are 'ox bow lakes' doofus.
An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water formed when a meander of a river is cut off from the main channel, typically during a flood. Over time, the oxbow lake may become isolated from the river and eventually fill in with sediment.
