LAKE LINDEN — A camper was treated for hypothermia and transported to the hospital after being rescued from the woods by first responders near Lake Linden Monday.

The Houghton County Sheriff’s Department responded to the woods off of Gregory-Cemetery Road, where a 40-year-old woman was reported as needing help getting out.

She had been camping since early Friday afternoon several hundred yards off the road. She was reported as weak, dehydrated and unable to walk out.
