I have never seen an alligator in Lake Martin and doubt very seriously that there are any there. The water in the lake is deep, clear, and contains little vegetation. . .not very appealing to gators. I will, however, tell you that I have seen 3 alligators in the Alabama river with in a boat ride of Montgomery. All 3 (one of the sightings could have been a repeat sighting of the same gator. . .but a third gator was noticably diff.) were south of Montgomery, near the Lowndes county line area. There the river is more shallow and has a lot of Cypress trees and other aquatic growth. 2 of them were rather large gators (over 8 ft; these 2 sightings might have been same gator). The other was small (4 ft or so).

2 or 3 gators on hundreds of miles of local rivers sure is far from an infestation. . .id say that worrying about gators on area waters ranks just above my concerns for UFO's landing in my backyard.
