CRANBERRY LAKE -- A search team found a 10-year-old boy who got lost near the Cranberry Lake campground.
DEC says on Aug. 9 at 12:20 p.m., while patrolling the Cranberry Lake Campground, a 34-year-old man from Port Jefferson flagged down a forest ranger to report his 10-year-old son had been missing for an hour.
The ranger immediately radioed the campground entrance booth to close and lock the gates. He organized the campground staff to begin a systematic search of all campground loops, bathrooms, and the beach and playground areas, DEC said.
A second forest ranger contacted the St. Lawrence County 911 Center to have Cranberry Lake Fire Department respond with their boat and dive team and then contacted New York State Police to have investigators and a K-9 bloodhound dog team respond to assist, DEC said.
At 12:45 p.m., searchers located the boy in another area of the campground, uninjured, DEC said.
