The National Park Service, Michigan State Police and Glen Lake Fire Department are conducting a search for a kayaker missing since Saturday afternoon in Lake Michigan.
Merrith Baughman, ranger and public information officer, confirmed that the Park Service and Glen Lake Fire Department are using side-sonar to find a kayaker — one of two paddlers who got in trouble about ¼-mile off Sleeping Bear Point.
About 3 p.m. Saturday, people on the shore heard shouting from the water.
“Thankfully, they had a powerful scope and was able to call for help,” Baughman said.
One kayaker was picked up by a boater and taken to Munson Medical Center and treated for hypothermia.
The second kayaker has yet to be recovered.
Water temperature at noon today was 62 degrees.
