Eddyville, Iowa – A pair of kayakers were found safe after being reported being late to their destination.
Mahaska County Sheriff Russ VanRenterghem said a group of three had departed Eveland Access along the Des Moines River and had stopped to rest on a couple of different sandbars.
With the low water levels, paddling their way to Hardfish Access near Eddyville proved to be more than they could accomplish before dark. The third kayaker then called for help.
