BISMARCK (AP) — The North Dakota Game and Fish Department said two men were rescued from Lake Sakakawea after their boat capsized.
The Bismarck Tribune reported that that a third man was able to swim to shore safely and notify authorities.
District game warden Mike Raasakka said the men’s boat began taking on water early Friday night. Raasaaka said he and Mountrail County Deputy Duane Marmon found the two men clinging to the swamped boat early Saturday morning, about a mile from shore.
Raasakka said the men were cold and wet and “pretty happy” to see rescuers.
Raasakka didn’t know what the men were doing on the lake or what caused the boat to flip.
