yes and no, as a small body of water, the lakes are almost not affected by the gravitational pull of the moon. However, droughts, weather patterns, and other forces can lower the water significantly

It's a good question. When I boated on lake Erie there was a phenomenon called a "seiche". A sort of sloshing, like in a big bowl, that is caused usually by the wind but other factors can also cause it such as earthquakes, etc. A strong wind blowing for a long while can set up a seiche. I have seen Lake Erie change as much as 6 feet, flooding towns and causing beach erosion. On the other side of the lake the water is equally low.
