It is approximately {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} long and flows through Lemon Township.[1] The watershed of the creek has an area of {{convert|1.79|sqmi|km2}}. The stream is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery. The surficial geology in the vicinity of its lower reaches mostly consists of alluvium and Wisconsinan Till, but there are patches of alluvial fan and bedrock nearby as well. CourseOxbow Inlet begins in a wetland in Lemon Township. It flows south for several tenths of a mile, its valley briefly deepening, before turning southeast and then south-southeast for several tenths of a mile as its valley becomes shallower. The stream then reaches its mouth at Oxbow Lake, from which Oxbow Creek flows.[1] Oxbow Inlet joins Oxbow Creek {{convert|2.79|mi|km}} upstream of its mouth.[2] HydrologyIn 1966, the concentration of silica in the waters of Oxbow Inlet was found to be greater than {{convert|50|mg/l|oz/cuft|sp=us}}. The iron concentration in the stream was found to be {{convert|0.20|mg/l|oz/cuft|sp=us}}. The magnesium and calcium concentrations were {{convert|2.02|and|24.64|mg/l|oz/cuft|sp=us}}, respectively. The sulfate concentration was {{convert|11.08|mg/l|oz/cuft|sp=us}}. The iron, calcium, and sulfate concentrations were below average for springs sampled in a 1966 study of bodies of water in the Wilkes-Barre area. However, the silica and magnesium concentrations were above average.[3] In the summer of 1966, Oxbow Inlet carried only vadose water, due to drought conditions during that time period.[3] Geography and geologyThe elevation near the mouth of Oxbow Inlet is {{convert|1027|ft|m}} above sea level.[4] The elevation of the stream's source is between {{convert|1120|and|1140|ft|m|0}} above sea level.[1] Oxbow Inlet is the inlet to Oxbow Lake, which does not appear to have any springs in its vicinity.[3] The surficial geology in the immediate vicinity of the lower reaches of Oxbow Inlet mainly consists of alluvium. Slightly further upstream (and slightly further away in the lower reaches), there is a till known as Wisconsinan Till in the surficial geology. There are also patches of alluvial fan and bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale nearby.[5] Watershed and biologyThe watershed of Oxbow Inlet has an area of {{convert|1.79|sqmi|km2}}.[2] The mouth of the stream is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Tunkhannock. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Springville.[4] The stream's mouth is located within {{convert|1|mi|km}} of St. Andrews Camp.[2] Chief Oil & Gas, LLC has an Erosion and Sediment Control permit for which one of the receiving streams is Oxbow Inlet.[6] Oxbow Inlet is classified as a Coldwater Fishery and a Migratory Fishery.[6] HistoryOxbow Inlet was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1193074.[4] See also
