Rain doesn't create muddy conditions in large areas such as a lake; failure to control sediment runoff from development does. If this hasn't been a problem in the past following rainfall, then I would bet someone has cleared property and has not properly maintained the runoff of sediment into nearby streams that then feed your part of the lake. I realize that the restrictions on this are not that strong in the area, but if we take this lightly as suggested here, then it will only get worse. I would suggest that you identify and streams and check them during the next rainfall. If you find one running particularly dirty, follow it upstream until you find your culprit. Not sure what you can do about it at that point, but may be worth reporting. We have a house on Smith, but live in Georgia; here we would report it to either the local authorities or to the Corp.
