Hi,
I live in western lower Michigan in Kent County. Found this guy in a park today. Could someone ID it?

It sure isn't a garter snake, and the markings don't look right for a corn or milk snake. How about a fox snake?

Notice how narrow the head is. A Northern water snake has a more arrow-shaped head and different markings.
