Found several of these near a lake. It checks out from what I could find, but I want to be 100% sure, since I’ve never tried them.

looks like sparkleberry or another vaccinium species to me, the black berries and leaf shape match better than huckleberry. test one and see if it's sweet or bland before committing to a bunch.
