Ranger Jeff Hammond with the CPW Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area received a call for help from the Chaffee County Sheriff's Office around 10 p.m. on July 6.
According to CPW, the boat flipped in Zoom Flume in Browns Canyon, which is known for its Class 3 rapids. The guide was able to text 911 for help, but the other two people were unaccounted for. “We could hear yelling from across the river, and that was the two unaccounted-for folks. They were upstream with their friends and swam to shore pretty quickly after they flipped in Zoom Flume,” said Hammond. “At that point that's when I got in my kayak, put it in the water and ferried across the river and was able to check in with them and confirmed they were relatively okay."
He found the guide and the raft about a mile downstream. Thankfully, she was not injured, according to CPW.
