Miracle Rescue After 3-Day Muskegon River Tubing Ordeal

Two women and 9-year-old Kayden went missing for three days after a Muskegon River tubing trip near Twin Lake. Rescuers found them in the woods, wearing swimsuits, with scratches, a broken phone, and a nearly empty water bottle. They had survived by eating bark and flowers and drinking river water, and were located about seven miles from where they entered the river. Kayden’s shout helped guide the team in bodycam footage; the trio was evacuated by Stokes baskets and treated at a hospital for dehydration, infections, and rashes. All three were back home by Tuesday.
