Waves on an inland lake is caused by the wind. The stronger the wind blows across open water, the rougher and higher the waves.

Why do waves in a lake always appear to be moving toward the shore no matter where you stand on land?

Think about it. Its a lake. The waves have to move towards shore. The real answer is that boats that you dont see further out on the lake make waves that hit all sides of the lake and will travel the full length of the lake, no matter what size.

Why water make waves?

Waves are created when wind moves across the surface of water. The size, speed and direction of the wave when it reaches the shore is determined by the speed of the wind, the amount of time the wind is blowing in the same direction, and distance over which the wind blows in a constant direction. Tsunami's are waves created by earthquakes. Boats can make waves too. You can make ripple waves in a puddle or lake by throwing a rock into the water. Tides are not the same as waves but can effect waves. Tides are created by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
