If you mean by "Federal Water" the "Navigable waters of the U.S.", the answer is no. Since Lake Martin is landlocked and you cannot navigate out to the ocean or Gulf from it, it does not qualify as a "Navigable Water" subject to certain laws, rules, etc of the Coast Guard.

If you mean "is it under control of the Federal Govt?" the answer is yes. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulates the lake and licenses its power to Alabama Power to administer it on a day to day basis.

Hope that helps!
