Nerodia sipedon
About a foot long, brown head, dark brown bands across a light brown body.
I found this little snake (juvenile, I believe) crossing the street at dusk. My husband and I coaxed him back to the curb and up into the grass.

I bet you're right; it does look like a Northern Watersnake. I was thrown because it wasn't near an immediate water source; however, though there is a lake a quarter mile down the road.
This looks like a Water Snake.
