Rivers can make lakes and lakes can make rivers.
Rain, melting ice and springs make rivers. When a river gets to a wider, deeper part of its course, it has to fill this depression to the brim before any water can continue downstream. That is how a river makes a lake.
When the water level gets as high as the lowest edge, water spills over and the river continues downhill.
Or, in a depression in the land, small streams or underground springs may create a lake, feeding directly into it. Again, nothing happens until the bowl is completely filled with water. Then, at the lowest edge, the water spills over and a river heads downhill on its way to the sea. That is how a lake makes a river.
