Mounties are searching for a man who has gone missing in Whiteshell Provincial Park.

In the middle of the afternoon Monday, police got a report of a 38-year-old man who was missing.

Police said the man from Fisher Branch had gone into the water to fetch a boat that had drifted from the shoreline of Strawberry Island on the Winnipeg River.

RCMP couldn’t reach the remote site in the water because of low water levels so an aerial search was conducted in a helicopter.

So far, officers haven’t had any luck finding the man but will continue to search using local boats.
