Pig Lake

Pig's Lake is an oxbow lake, which is a crescent-shaped body of water that occurs when a river takes a shortcut during flooding and cuts off a sharp bend. Pig's Lake got its name from nearby pig farms where the animals would roam around the lake. Over the years, the lake has faced erosion issues. The river's reinforced rock banks bounce waves back across the river, causing the separating bank to shrink, leaving only a thin strip between the lake and the river.
