I have sailing. My capital is next to a lake, then I built a road from the lake to my second city thinking that will connect them, but it didn't work. Is that how it's supposed to work?
 
Yes. Cities can be connected via either road or water. But you can't mix the two into the same route.
 
Exacly how lakes works to connect cities is still a mystery to me, but it seems like if the lake is connected to a river, then any city that is settled next to the lake is also connected to the river.
Any resources that are riverside are automatically connected, but resources that are lakeside are NOT connected.
Similarly, if a riverside tile is roaded, then there is a connection between the river network and the road network, but if a lakeside tile is roaded, that doesn't do anything.
