Hey Deb,
If you download the Lincoln county cadastral database from:
ftp://ftp.gis.mt.gov/CadastralFramework/Lincoln/
you can use the OwnerClassification feature class to select the private lands then do a select by location (intersect, completely contain... whatever meets your criteria) and select the lakes you want that way. Then create a new layer file from that selection (this won't create a new dataset but just point to the original data based on the selection above) or export to a new dataset.
If you have questions, feel free to email me or give me a call
