This is more than likely to be a Northern Water Snake. Judging by the rocks on the shore, you appear to be in Massasauga and Fox territory, but they are both less conspicuous snakes. The shape of the head and dullness of pattern are telling. The video is shaky and we only see the snake briefly a couple of times, but that's my guess.
Watch my video on the Snakes of Ontario for more information.
Thanks for the tip. We were in Parry Sound if that changes your opinion at all.
