The 46-year-old man and his 9-year-old son entered the Neversink River, near the Oakland Valley Campground in Cuddebackville, New York, on Saturday morning, New York State Police said.
At some point, their raft overturned and they were swept downstream, police said. A search for the two was suspended Saturday night due to weather and river conditions, but resumed Sunday morning before it was suspended again Sunday evening, police said.
