Milk Snake or something else?

Can someone please tell me what kind of snake this is? Its eyes were clouded over so I assume it was getting ready to shed. It was found a few days ago in Game Land 38 in Pennsylvania at an elevation of about 1,926 feet. I would say it was about 24” long. It was in a very dry, sun drenched area. It looks like an adult milk snake but it also looks a little like a Northern Water snake…which would be sort of unusual as there were streams or other visible bodies of water close by. Wolf Swamp (really a kettle lake) was about 1 mile away. Its underside was whitish. It also rattled its tail or buzzed it like a milk snake does before it fled into the nearby underbrush.
