Default Lakes or ponds?

Frivolous question but - I was told once that the definition of a lake was
that it covered an acre of land. In discussing this with someone, I saw

an
internet definition giving 0.25 of a hectare as a lake. Anyone got any
other ideas/sources/definitions?

I always thought a lake had to have a river flowing in while a pond did not?
