Ponds are man made, lakes arent.

Retards are too - 98% of the lakes in Texas are man made.

I actually know this!
A lake is a depression that reaches down to and below the water table and thus is usually always filled with water/wet.
A pond is a depression that rests up above the water table and loses water on the long term due to that water seeping down to the water table.

In the southeast, farm ponds are man made and will fill in and become swamps and then dry land if they aren't drained and dredged often enough.
Yep - the process of ecological succession.

What's the difference between a Pond and a Lake ?
Ricki Pond doesn't weigh as much.

Wondered for many years... I think the answer lies in size... Somewhere... I guess...

Same goes with what defines a "creek", "brook", "stream" or "river".
"Stream" is really crazy because you have what people call is a "mountain stream", or small river in the mountain. Then you have the Gulf stream.
I think just some people call small bodies of water "ponds", a little bit bigger a "lake"
I'd probably say the line between calling it a pond or lake is about 2 - 3 acres.

Ponds are exclusively manmade.
Lakes can be manmade and natural.
