I am curious what is going on here.

With trees like that in the water.... what is this? Recently flooded? They have been dead a while, but it's clearly not been a lake/pond for a long time.

We get places like that whenever the build reservoirs. The standing dead trees last a long time.

We have areas that look like that in West Tennessee where the local rivers were rerouted and levees thrown up. That left river areas cut off in a De-watering area. Some trees are still standing 80 years later, others grow up in drought times and then die in rainy seasons.
Some of those areas sell high for the wildlife they attract.

Edit: The trees standing 80 years later are actually underwater most of the time. The trunks are HUGE, 4 to 5 feet dia..

Well, the land is nice though. I just don't know what it means to see a change like that... cause it must have been a relatively recent change.

No indication of anything like a reservoir.

No where near the ocean.
