Generally, no. When 'north' is used as noun ("towards the north"), adjective ("the north end of the building") or adverb ("the arrow was fired north"), "north" is not capitalised.

When used as part of a proper-noun or place-name, it should be capitalised, such as in "North Pole" or "North America".

In most contexts, as for example, I live north of the lake, you would not capitalize the word. On the other hand, if you were talking about Oliver North, you would.
