Flooding in the Oxbow
We always ask our visitors to remember that the Oxbow is a floodplain, and with that comes the risk of flooding. Water can come in at 2 feet an hour or faster. Please be aware of your surroundings when you visit us. The chart below is our best estimate for water levels and not a certainty. This link is of a video(s) of actual floodwater entering the Oxbow - there is a great deal of background noise from the wind and water moving through the Oxbow.
