Wizard Island is a 5 hour drive. Deep freshwater lake, surrounded by water on all sides. Fish. In a volcanic crater so any zombies coming have to summit the volcano first, then be visible on the rim before getting to the water, where they sink.
My biggest concern would be the zombies contaminating the water with whatever virus/poison/venom that makes zombies. Even if they're visible, the moment they touch water, I'd already be scared to drink.
I think that in general, the problem with water barriers is that they work well on humans, who need to breathe. But, depending upon the type of zombie universe in question, zombies may not. They may be able to just walk along the bottom.
EDIT: And one other complication for the zombie apocalypse survivor who wants to set up near large, accessible sources of freshwater:

What If zombies can swim?
They aren't buoyant. 😉 No air in the lungs.
Walk on the bottom, Pirates of the Caribbean style.
