As long as I can tell lake is a reservoir of unsalted water, while the sea water is always salty and unsuitable for drink

There are exceptions but generally a sea is salt and a lake is fresh water

A lake is fresh water surrounded by land. An Inland sea is salt water, surrounded by land, such as the "salton Sea" in southern california, or the "black sea" . An open sea, or ocean, is salt water that is open to other oceans or seas.

Lake is usually fresh water, surrounded by land & outflow is into another lake, river or stream. Sea is large, always salt water.

many of these answers are wrong. the caspian sea, the black sea, the dead, sea, the aral sea, and many more are entirely surrounded by land. I believe the size has one thing to do with it, as well as whether or not it's salt water.

Lake: A large INLAND body of fresh OR salt water.
Sea: A large body of salt water PARTIALLY enclosed by land.
