Size: Body close to 1" I think
On the side of a cabin by the lake. Looks like Dolomedes tenebrosus, maybe? Female?

abdominal closeup
I've added a closeup of the abdomen, since none of these other images focused on that part, and according to the guide page it is important for identification.

Thanks
for the ID, Jeff. Was beginning to think no one would look at this one.

No
