A man who was missing for six hours after getting separated from his hiking companions at Clinton Lake has been found.

The man had gone on a nighttime hike with two other men near campground one, on the northeast side of the lake, said Sgt. Don Dunkle with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The man went missing about midnight and was found about 6:30 a.m.

Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies conducted an overnight search in the area where the man went missing. Scanner traffic indicated deputies in a boat were checking along the shore of the lake. At about 3:30 a.m., a helicopter for the Kansas Highway Patrol was called to assist in the search.

The man was found around 6:30 a.m. near campground one and was in good condition, Dunkle said.

“He had a few bumps and bruises and was a little dehydrated, but other than that he was fine,” Dunkle said.
