Northwoods Mounted Search and Rescue is pleased to make itself available for any search and rescue needs you may experience in this area.

We are a mounted horse unit of between 10 and 20 people, trained in first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, land navigation, personal and equine survival, and other outdoor skills. Augmented by radio equipment, we use well-trained horses capable of searching large tracts of forest land, snowmobile trails, fields, and other terrain to locate downed aircraft, hunters or hikers lost in the woods, or respond to other emergency situations. We work with, not replace, services provided by law enforcement, volunteers on foot or all-terrain vehicles, Civil Air Patrol, or Headwaters Search and Rescue dog patrols.

The unit works under the direction of local sheriff's departments.
