False River is an oxbow lake.⁠ ⁠ That fact is not in contention, but when it comes to the body of water's origins, Artemas Davis has questions.⁠ ⁠ "Is False River man-made or the result of the ever-changing mighty Mississippi River?" he asked.⁠ ⁠ The question was prompted by a story told to him by his grandfather.⁠ ⁠ "He told us about helping to dredge out False River," Davis said. "And I've always wondered if it was a man-made formation because of that. He would have done that work in the late 1920 or early '30s, so it could have been during the Great Flood of 1927."⁠ ⁠ Read the full #CuriousLouisiana answer at the link in bio.
