==Course==
Oxbow Creek begins in Oxbow Lake, which the tributary Oxbow Inlet flows into, in Lemon Township. The creek flows east and then south for a few tenths of a mile, entering a valley. It then turns east for several tenths of a mile, flowing through the valley, before receiving the tributary Horton Creek from the left. At this point, the creek turns south-southeast for several tenths of a mile before turning south. After a few tenths of a mile, it turns southeast for a short distance, crossing Pennsylvania Route 92 and reaching its confluence with Tunkhannock Creek.〔
Oxbow Creek joins Tunkhannock Creek upstream of its mouth.
