A river is more narrow and it usually flows. A lake is a body of water like the ocean is but much smaller, & it usually doesn't flow toward one direction like a river does.

River is where water flows with generally constant fresh water coming and in most cases the water gets to mingle with the sea eventually whereas a lake is a body of accumualted water from rain or other source that generally never meets the sea exceptional of some lakes that are creted by sea.

Rivers move. Lakes sit there. Some lakes have tides, if they're big enough (like Lake Baikal, and I think maybe some of the Great Lakes.)
Lakes are sometimes formed by damming rivers, but that's not a real lake, just a manmade one (like Lake Powell.)
