DOUGLAS COUNTY - Two young girls are lucky to be alive after their kayaks overturned.
It happened Saturday afternoon in the Minong Flowage.
Douglas County authorities said the 12-year-old girls from Bruce struggled to stay afloat as their canoes filled with water.
A nearby deputy spotted them while patrolling in his jet-ski.
The deputy drove them to shore about a half mile away.
Neither girl was wearing a life jacket, according to authorities.
