Would a beaver make this wet spot?

I was out for a walk this morning and stopped at a lake to scout out some shore-fishing locations. I walked about 5 minutes past this spot, then turned around back towards the cottage. During those few minutes, something came out of the water and made this wet spot of the road - wait, where did you think that this thread was going to take us 😁

There are black bears, cougars, deer, elk, coyote and bobcats in the area, but given that I couldn’t see any paw prints accompanying the water, I thought maybe this was made by a beaver whose tail covered his tracks. Something came out of the water, shook itself off and kept going. Naturally, I figured that a watch forum was the best place to ask. Any ideas on what I missed seeing here?



Obligatory wrist shot from later in the day…

Looks like a Ford pick up truck blew the radiator and being blinded by steam the driver drove into water. Is there a pick up truck in water?

I was also thinking that some water was dumped from a vehicle.

I'm just glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read the thread title.

there’s lots of water right to the water line, but no pickup truck. Most lakes have a few pickups in them, along with a few Chevrolet Caprice as well.

Pickups and Chevrolet Caprices - perfect structure for encouraging fishing quantities of crappie.

I just wanted to note that I read this thread, managed to hold my coffee and gave likes where deserved.

I'm an old fur trapper and I recognize that spot.

It was made by an otter. A Me-otter, sold by Mazda.
