Rangers from the Grand Teton National Park continue searching for a missing 43-year-old man from St. Paul, Minnesota.

Wesley Dopkins was last seen in Grand Teton National Park on June 15 in the mid-afternoon kayaking with a friend. According to the park, he was paddling on Jackson Lake from Elk Island towards Waterfalls Canyon with a friend. After losing sight of Dopkins at approximately 2 p.m. the friend attempted to return to Colter Bay but was unable to do so due to high winds (gusts were up to 25 mph, with water temperatures of less than 45 degrees), and instead landed at Leeks Marina where he reported the situation. Grand Teton National Park rangers commenced a search by boat and the Teton County Search and Rescue helicopter. At around 8 p.m. they located his Oru folding kayak, paddle, and dry bag floating off of Moose Island.

As of the afternoon of Monday, June 17, Dopkins had still not been found. He was wearing a long sleeve blue shirt, red ball cap and shorts. Anyone with information on the missing person is asked to contact the Grand Teton National Park tip line at 1-888-653-0009.
