NYS DEC: Forest Rangers responded to assist hikers at Inman Gulf

PINCKNEY- New York State Forest Rangers assisted a pair of hikers last weekend in Lewis County.

It was shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 5 when Lewis County Dispatch received a call from two hikers who advised they had been climbing down the edge of Inman Gulf and unable to climb up or down.

Prior to Ranger arrival, the 23- and 24-year-olds from Fort Drum managed to make it to the bottom of the gorge.

At 6:30 p.m., Rangers reached the pair, provided them with food and water, and hiked them out two miles to Whitesville Road.

Resources were clear at 7:55 p.m.

No injuries were reported.
