This location was at a cottage in a lake near Wolcott NY. (Upstate NY). Could this be a water snake like a Water Moccasin, or could it be something like a Black Rat snake?

This looks like a harmless Northern Watersnake.

It couldn't be a "Water Moccasin" because Water Moccasins (or more correctly, Eastern Cottonmouths) do not occur north of Virginia. There are no venomous "watersnakes" in the NE US.
