A 21-year-old man drowned yesterday afternoon in Mohican Lake, in the Sullivan County town of Lumberland, after jumping from a rowboat and attempting to swim to shore.

The young man, who was with the group in the rowboat, jumped out of the boat and began swimming toward a dock located off Mohican Trail, near the Mohican Lake Inn.

The man's name has not yet been released.
