No, lakes do not have tides like oceans do. Tides in oceans are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun, which create the rise and fall of water levels. Lakes, being smaller bodies of water, are not affected by these gravitational forces in the same way, so they do not experience tides.
