U.S. Forest Service employees found a 13-year-old girl at about 9:55 p.m. on Friday on a Lane County trail after she'd been lost for almost 10 hours, said Lt. Marc Mills of the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office.

Lindsey Camus of Gresham, was with a group that had been hiking and camping for two days on trails between Lava Lake and Devil's Lake, Mills said. "She's in good health," he said.

Camus became separated from group members when they were roughly six miles northwest of Devil's Lake, Mills said. Searchers found her walking on a trail near Foley Orchard, off Oregon Route 242 in Lane County. Camus had walked between 15 and 20 miles before the Forest Service employees found her, Mills said. She had been missing since about 12:30 p.m. on Friday, said a Deschutes County 911 dispatcher.
