Excerpt from NYS Forest Rangers Week in Review Press Release (September 24, 2024)

 

Town of Pinckney 
Lewis County 
Wilderness Rescue: On Sept. 17 at 1:15 p.m., Forest Ranger Captain Nowalk and four Rangers responded to the Inman Gulf in the Tug Hill State Forest to assist a hiker who had fallen 200 feet. Rangers and Lewis County Search and Rescue hiked 2.5 miles to the subject. They determined the hiker had dislocated their shoulder and chose a rope system to rescue the 46-year-old from Adams Center. Martinsburg, New Bremen, and Rodman Fire Departments helped set up a rope system. Rescuers, including the Lewis County Search and Rescue team, New York State Police, and the Lewis County Sheriff’s Department, raised the subject 200 feet and transported him to EMTs and eventual hospital transport. Resources were clear at 5:50 p.m.
