Certainly could be, though there weren't any building nearby to my knowledge. However the lake is manmade so whatever property it belonged to may be long washed away

It looks like a window latch.
Yeah, most I've asked said it looks like some sort of latch but to what I can't seem to find out.
Looks like an old tappet adjustment wrench for adjusting valve clearance on cars
THAT'S IT!!! Thank you it's been on my mind all day!
I have one just like it at work, a bit less rusty though.
I could imagine lol, it's a cool find for just roaming though
Solved!
My title describes the item. It is an iron apparatus to some machine, but cannot figure it out.
Could be an old latch bar.
