While I have never seen any on the lake and doubt that they are there, it is definitly possible. I live only 40 miles from the lake and have seen 3 on the shores of the Alabama River myself--one of which was at least 10 feet long. Also, the animal control officer from Millbrook that retired about 5 years ago reported having captured 7 in his 30 year career.

However, the river is very different than the lake. It is murky and very remote in some locations. This is far more suitable for gators than the clear, high traffic waters of Lake Martin.
