Best Answer

A bayou is a slow-moving waterway. Common in southern Louisiana, these lazy streams crisscross the land like webbing. They connect lakes, swamps, or marshes and can be short creeks or rivers that wander for 100 miles. Bayous may be as broad as a river or narrow enough that trees on opposite banks will touch.
