A river can create meanders (bends) which can form a separate lake known as an oxbow lake.
An Oxbow Lake is formed when a river meanders so far from its path that some of the water is trapped out there, and when the river sinks again or erosion silts up the path, a small, isolated lake is formed.

No it does not. It is fairly flat through its length without the meanders which lead to ox-bow lakes.
A river is young if it has an oxbow lake. Erosion and deposits of soil cause crescent shaped oxbow lakes along a river and change the river's course.
Oxbow lake
Sometimes a meandering river forms a feature called an oxbow lake. An oxbow lake is a meander that has been cut off from the river. An oxbow lake may form when a river floods. EW

It is called an oxbow lake. Some are called meander lakes.
An oxbow lake forms when the neck of a river bend erodes enough to meet. This will realign the river, which then flows on a new straighter course. The now isolated previous loop in the river remains as the oxbow (shaped) lake.
