Crews Search Lake at Long Run Park After Person Falls From Kayak

Dense underwater vegetation is limiting sonar detection during the ongoing search of the park lake.

Overview

  • Rescue teams are actively searching the lake at Long Run Park in east Louisville after a report that a person fell from a canoe or kayak.
  • Dispatchers sent Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS and Louisville Fire & Rescue with boats and dive teams to the scene.
  • Witnesses reported the kayaker as a white man in his mid- to late-30s who fell from the boat and could not be reached by bystanders.
  • Divers have been unable to locate the person so far because the lake has deep pockets—about 30 feet—and heavy aquatic vegetation that hampers sonar.
  • Authorities have released no identifying details or condition of the person and local news crews remain on site as the search continues.
