A Klamath Falls woman was rescued near Susan Creek Falls on Wednesday night.
Sergeant Brad O’Dell of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said shortly after 8:00 p.m. 911 dispatchers received a call from 40-year old Corrine Compton. The woman said she was lost in the Susan Creek area. Compton told dispatchers that she had lost the trail and was slipping on the side of a cliff.
O’Dell said Douglas County Search and Rescue was activated and located the woman a mile and a half east of the Susan Creek walking bridge. She was found beneath the North Umpqua Trail.
Searchers were able to extract the woman and walked out with her to the highway. Compton was uninjured and did not require medical attention. She was later transferred to her vehicle.
O’Dell said Compton was hiking with a 12-week old blue nose pit bull which was wearing a harness and a purple leash. The two became separated during the hike. Searchers were unable to locate the dog at the time of the rescue.
Anyone who locates the dog should contact Douglas County Animal Control at 440-4471.
