OPP say they found a missing Seadoo rider, a day after he went missing on Lake St. Clair near Mitchells Bay. 

At about 8 p.m. on Saturday, the Chatham-Kent OPP responded to a report of a missing person on the lake. 

The rider left the St. Anne Island boating "hang out" area riding a green and black Seadoo Spark. Witnesses said he was wearing a life jacket and was returning to Mitchells Bay Marina, but never came back.

After hours of searching, the Seadoo was found but not the rider. 

At about 4 p.m. on Sunday, OPP said the missing man was located in good health and transported to hospital for assessment. 

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, the Canadian Coast Guard, OPP Aviation Services, OPP West Region Emergency Response Unit, OPP K9, OPP Marine Unit, Ministry of National Resources and Forestry, Chatham-Kent Police Service and the Walpole Island First Nation Police assisted in the search.
