The young boy was located around 11:00 a.m. Sunday near Yankee Lake, more than two kilometres from where he was last seen. Someone heard rustling in the bushes near a hiking trail and found the toddler. He had some scratches, but was otherwise in good health.
RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel says it appears the toddler got distracted and wandered up the wrong trail without his family.
