WILKES COUNTY, N.C. — Editor's Note: The initial law enforcement agency said there were five family members involved and the actual agency who responded to the scene has since corrected the number of family members to four.

Deputies said the family went rafting on Saturday at 3 p.m. on the Yadkin River.

Later that night, Wilkes County deputies said the mother and daughter were separated from the other two family members. 

Around 8:30 a.m. Sunday, deputies said they received a report about the incident. 

Nearly an hour later, deputies said all four members of the family were reunited on land.
