They are called bayous. Bogs typically get all of their water from rain and are created by sphagnum moss buildup over existing ponds or dry land that becomes saturated with rain - they are stagnant, peat-filled depressions. Bayous (like in Louisiana) are marshy outlets or offshoots of lakes or rivers (i.e. they have very slow moving water that is fed from a larger water source).

The state of Louisiana is full of bayous. A bayou is a body of water that can be a slow moving river or stream. they are most commonly found in very low lying areas and usually contain brackish water. Some well know bayous in Louisiana include Cypress Bayou, Buffalo Bayou, Bayou Bartholomew, and Bayou La Batre.
Louisiana is cut in two by the Mississippi River. The bayous are mostly backwaters of the Mighty Mississippi. And New Orleans is built on the delta of the river.
