A crescent-shaped lake formed near a flat-valleyed river when one of its meanders becomes pinched off and isolated
A crescent-shaped lake formed when a meander of a river or stream is cut off from the main channel. Small lake located in a former meander loop of a river or stream channel. It is generally formed as a river cuts through a meander neck to shorten its course, blocks off the old channel, and then migrates away from the lake. If only one loop is cut off, the lake is crescent-shaped; if more than one loop is cut off, the lake is serpentine (winding). Eventually, oxbow lakes silt up to form marshes and finally meander scars
a crescent-shaped lake (often temporary) that is formed when a meander of a river is cut off from the main channel
