State Department of Environmental Conservation officers rescued three lost people in the Cranberry Lake area in recent days.
On June 19 DEC’s Ray Brook Dispatch received a call at at 7:39 p.m. from two lost hikers in the Cranberry Lake Wild Forest. The hikers were advised to call 911 to determine their position.
Initial attempts to gain the subjects’ coordinates were delayed and returned with questionable reliability. The hikers from Bath underestimated the trip to Hedgehog Pond, turned around, attempted to bushwhack as a shortcut, but instead became lost in Bear Swamp for several hours.
Forest Ranger Shea directed the hikers using their compass and headlamps back to the trail via phone. Rangers Shea and Curcio met the hikers at the Bear Mountain trailhead. St. Lawrence County 911, St. Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, and Cranberry Lake Campground staff assisted.
