This is an Oxbow Lake. Although it may look like an artificial lake because of its shape, this lake here called Lake Chicot was actually formed naturally, 600 years ago.
You see, rivers tend to bend and form something like a loop, and in this case, the Mississippi river curved until its bends touched each other. The course of the water chose the shortest way and cause this curve here to detach from the river, forming this way an oxbow lake.
Another Oxbow lake example is The Carter Lake which was originally part of the Missouri River. Do you know other Oxbow Lakes ?
