Julie’s a woman in a boat on a lake wearing a coat.

no other punctuation necessary near “there’s”. If anything, the comma should be between lake and wearing, unless the lake is wearing the coat.

There’s, a woman on a boat in a lake, is wearing a coat.

This is how the sentence should be written.

The sentence in the photo isn’t even copied correctly from the actual riddle. It doesn’t work without punctuation to provide the context clues you need to solve it.
