LAKE TOWNSHIP, Wis. — The body of a missing Stephenson man was found Thursday at Shakey Lakes Park.
First responders were dispatched at 7:47 p.m. after Lon Joseph Harrand, 67, was reported missing while ice fishing on Shakey Lakes, according to an Menominee County Sheriff’s Office press release.
Officials say Harrand fell through the ice and drowned. His body was recovered by ice rescuers.
Harrand had reportedly stopped by the campground earlier in the day and saw other ice fishermen at the location. He went home to get his ice fishing gear and returned back to the lake to the fish, the release states. After he did not return calls to his cell phone, family and friends saw boot prints going out onto the ice at the scene, but no tracks indicating Harrand had walked off the ice.
