Best Answer

Ponds and lakes typically become forests by silting up. The sediments of a river can become trapped in a shallow lake and eventually becomes higher than the water level or water table. This forst forms a meadow, and later the larger trees grow in. This is now occurring at Mirror Lake in Yosemite How_can_a_pond_or_a_lake_become_a_forestForest.

Lakes that dry up will usually not become forests because they lack groundwater, and there may be a concentration of alkali salts in the lake bed. Done by a 7th grader ha ha :D
