Confirmed after downloading the image to blow it up and have a closer look at the seedheads. Close ups are very valuable for plant ID's.

Getting close up to the lake's edge for close ups is a bit dicy - could slip in and there is lots of rubbish in the lake!

Ha Ha! We don't wish for you to risk your health!
You could crop the photo a bit instead for easier viewing.
