Please generate a brief description of a muddy scene outside a lakeshore with a squirrel.

Leading away from this small, reed-cluttered shore, a long sandy trail winds its way through clumps of vegetation toward somewhat drier land. The water here is merely ankle deep, though the mud beneath the surface makes movement difficult -- too shallow to actively swim, but too wet to actually walk. Arboreal creatures, such as the occasional squirrel, have a much easier time traversing this area through the overhanging branches.
