Stranded canoeists rescued
"According to Chief Deputy Scott M. Burns, the group of 14 female campers ages 15-20, and two adult counselors from YMCA Camp St. Croix in Hudson, WI began an overnight canoe trip from the Schoen Park Landing in Douglas County earlier in the day and encountered high water and fast current conditions on the St. Croix River, causing several canoes to swamp and the canoeists to become stranded along the river banks. Rescue efforts were coordinated immediately, and all of the stranded campers were removed from the riverway utilizing a hovercraft and boats by about 1:40 a.m. This incident occurred in a remote, wilderness area where the river banks, landings and campsites are only accessible via the river. "All campers and counselors have been accounted for and were taken back to Camp St. Croix in Hudson. North Memorial Ambulance personnel treated and released one camper at the scene who was reportedly suffering from exposure. No other injuries were reported. "The Burnett County Sheriffs Office reminds canoeists and boaters that recent heavy rainfall in northern Wisconsin has caused the St. Croix and other area rivers to become treacherous with many downed trees in the riverways, high water levels, and extremely fast and dangerous currents. Extreme caution must be used when on or near these waterways. Individuals and groups can check with National Park Service headquarters for river conditions before heading out on the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers.Burnett County Wisconsin - News
