MOUNT OLIVE (AP) — Police say a 46-year-old woman has been found safe after getting lost on a hike through Stephens State Park.

NJ.com reports Mount Olive police began the search around 1:30 p.m. Sunday after receiving a call from the hiker who reported she was unable to find her way out of the 805-acre park.

Sgt. Mike Cordileone says members of the Budd Lake Fire Department, Budd Lake First Aid Squad, Morris County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit and New Jersey State Park Police joined in the search.
