A river can create meanders (bends) which can form a separate lake known as an oxbow lake.

Bends in a river are called meanders
Meanders are bends in a river or watercourse. Meanders are more likely to be found in slower moving rivers. They often form ox-bows.
River erosion can form features such as meanders, oxbow lakes, floodplains, and river cliffs. Meanders are winding curves in a river's course, while oxbow lakes are abandoned meanders that have been cut off. Floodplains are flat expanses of land next to a river that is prone to flooding, and river cliffs are steep banks that are eroded by the river's flow.
there are around 7 meanders in the river Yangtze.
A river with meanders is a winding river that has a series of bends and curves. Meanders are formed when a river's flow erodes the banks on one side and deposits sediment on the other, causing the river to bend back and forth. This creates a distinctive S-shaped pattern along the river's course.
Meanders, or curved loops in a river, can be found in various river systems around the world. They are commonly seen in larger rivers with gentle slopes, such as the Mississippi River in the United States or the Amazon River in South America. Meanders form as the river erodes the outer bank and deposits sediment on the inner bank, causing the river channel to shift and create a looping pattern.
they are called meanders that's what they are
River bends are called 'esses' or 'meanders'
The mature stage of river development is characterized by flat flood plains where the river meanders and deposits sediment. In this stage, the river has a large volume of water and is more stable, leading to the creation of wide flood plains.
