(Lake County) Four people who were stranded on Flathead Lake’s Wildhorse Island were successfully rescued by Lake County Search and Rescue teams.
The group had reportedly paddled out to that island on canoes and kayaks, but strong winds and waves made it unsafe for them to try to leave.
Lake County SAR reminds early-season fishermen and recreational users that the SAR boat is not on the water until mid to late May, depending on water levels. From garage to launch, expect a two-hour delay for the boat crew to assemble and transit to a launch site.
