Kayaker Rescued From Northern Michigan Lake

On Saturday, a local boater and Michigan State Police trooper worked together to rescue a kayaker from a lake after the man was sitting in the water for about an hour.

Troopers responded to a 1:50 p.m. call from a distressed kayaker in the water on Long Lake in Long Lake Township.

The West Olive man was shivering and starting to lose motor skills when he was brought to shore. He was brought to a local area hospital and treated for Hypothermia.
