A search is continuing on Lake Muskoka after a Bracebridge man fell overboard and disappeared.
Provincial police say that around 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday, the OPP Marine Unit responded to a distress call from a boater indicating that a person had fallen out of their vessel and failed to surface.
According to police, a couple had been returning to Bracebridge in their boat, and in the area of Sandy Bay near Bowyers Beach on Lake Muskoka, the weather changed very quickly, making navigation difficult.
Police say a 67-year-old man who was on board the vessel fell out and was struggling in the water. Nearby residents responded to the calls for help and attended the location in boats, but the man has not yet been located.
The OPP Marine Unit and Underwater Search and Recovery Unit are continuing the search today.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Bracebridge OPP.
