Araneus nordmanni
Based on color and shape I would guess it is Araneus nordmanni, which are not aquatic.
It is definitely not a Cybaeidae (such as Argyroneta aquatica or Pisauridae (the nursery web spiders) which are aquatic. Neither of those families have that large round abdomen like the Areneidae (orb-weavers) do.
You might post it to Welcome to BugGuide.Net! - BugGuide.Net , there are some spider specialists there that should be able to id it.
