Little Falls: Boater Is Missing

July 18th, 2008 by paddler_guy

A Stanhope man was missing after his canoe capsized in the Passaic River early yesterday, the police said. The man, Joseph Rivera, 27, was one of four people who set out in the canoe around 3:30 a.m., the police said. The group turned for shore when the river proved too rough, but the canoe capsized before they could reach land, said Sgt. Edward Drwiega. Three men swam ashore, but Mr. Rivera had not been found by 9 a.m. yesterday, when the search was called off because of rough water, he said.
