Could you give coordinates to help us find the place?
In any case, it is almost certainly down to the composition of the soil in that area - if it is claylike, the colour may have leached into the lake. Otherwise, are there any cities nearby? It may be industrial waste. The first it more likely, though.

I cannot locate your lake. Probably laterite, red soil. The picture was probably taken after a strong rain.
