On Monday, April 15th, at approximately 6:43pm, Cottonwood County Dispatch received a call about a 15-year-old male who was canoeing with a family member on Eagle Lake. While canoeing, the juvenile male jumped in the lake to retrieve a lost oar. The juvenile male attempted to swim back to the canoe; however, the wind had pushed the canoe farther away from him. The juvenile male attempted to swim to shore. The family member lost sight of the juvenile male as they drifted farther apart. There were no life jackets in the canoe. A search of the shoreline and lake was conducted. The search was suspended at approximately 2 am on April 16th.
