This morning at the Little Patuxent Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve (in the 
Russett Community, Anne Arundel County).

Now is a perfect time to visit Oxbow Lake. All the leaves are off the trees 
and the lake is visible from almost every point along the trails. The water 
level has returned to what it was almost a year ago thanks to the 
industrious beavers.
