Deputies locate lost kayaker on San Jacinto River 6/27/22

Deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office responded to Jesse Jones Park located at 20634 Kenswick Drive in reference to a missing kayaker on 6/27/22.

The reportee advised he kayaked with a friend at Mercer Park and got separated on the creek. He made it to Jesse Jones Park at the intended exit point and had not seen his friend for over 2 hours.

With the assistance of DPS air support, the lost kayaker was located approximately 1 mile past IH59 in the San Jacinto River. He was in good condition but was unfamiliar with the creek system and had gotten lost.

When kayaking, make sure you have a plan, stay with others in your party, and have plenty of water to drink!

@TownHubAdmin : He was fortunate to be fund so quickly. With this heat, this story could have ended differently if he'd been out there for an extended period of time.

@Bloom : Tho if he ended up past 59, he could have pulled out there by the bridges if he was in trouble - no lack of people in the vicinity to help him contact people even if his phone was dead. Must not have been familiar with 59 either, to get that lost!
