The Upper Ottawa Valley OPP performed a search and located a stranded person in the early hours of Tuesday morning in Laurentian Hills Township.
The OPP and Renfrew County Paramedics responded after an ATV rider called Monday evening saying he was lost, after his ATV became immobile while travelling on an Ottawa Valley Recreational Trail.
The person was located by the OPP helicopter just after 1 a.m. and released after being assessed by paramedics.
The OPP advise when planning a wilderness or recreational activity, to plan within your limits or bring a more experienced friend or guide with you.
They say to leave your planned route with a family member or friend and ask them to contact authorities if you do not return on time, and to bring emergency equipment with you.
