Technically, yes. However, the tidal effects of moderate-sized bodies of water such as medium-sized lakes is vanishingly small. The Great Lakes have very small tidal effects, but rivers are far more influenced by the flow of the river.

This is because there isn't much water to displace to create a noticeable effect.

Oddly enough, the moon's tides also effect solid ground. The earths crust flexes through a range of about 1 foot over the course of a day.

Great Answer!! Actually, the moon and Earth pull on each other, so since Earth is much bigger, there is a lot of tidal force applied to the moon . . . enough so that over billions of years, the moon has slowed its spin rate to where just one 'side' of the moon faces Earth all the time.
