It's a Midland Water Snake, probably the most common snake around the lake. Believe it or not, they get bigger than three feet long. (And, the bigger it gets, the better for you. Snakes like this are territorial and have nasty tempers, and they will usually fight off any venomous Water Moccasins that want to share the same area.)
If it's too near an area of heavy activity, it will eventually leave on its own. So for now, enjoy it. Sit quietly in the morning and watch it stalk and catch minnows, and enjoy knowing that, as long as its around, Water Moccasins are not.
