Oscar, Louisiana, USA

River or lake? False River was a meander of the Mississippi River until the 1700s; then, flooding cut it off, and it became an oxbow lake. Now, it is a cottage-crowded, duck-hunting, trout-fishing paradise. Note the French long-lots visible on the false-color image below. Those long-lots testify to False River's Acadian heritage.
