Lakes are too small to experience tidal forces, which are caused by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull on the Earth. Rivers flow downhill under the influence of Earth's gravity which is much closer than the Moon or Sun, and any tidal effects are indistinguishable.
However, rivers which lead to the oceans are affected by tides, as ocean water rushes in to the mouth or estuary of the river.
