About
The Váh Oxbow Lake (Slovak: Mŕtve rameno Váhu, Hungarian: Holtvág, colloquially also Mrtvák) is a body of water located north of Komárno, Slovakia. It was formed in 1973 by damming a branch of the Váh River, creating a separated oxbow lake. A regulated dam controls the mouth of the Komárno Canal, and another dam at the outlet prevents direct swimming access to the Váh River.
