Description

IDLEYLD PARK, Ore. – A Glide woman who was the subject of a search and rescue operation has been located alive and uninjured.  On Thursday, March 6, 2025, around 8:20 p.m., Douglas County Dispatch received a missing person report from the family of 18-year-old Danielle Clinesmith. Clinesmith had reportedly gone hiking on the North Umpqua Trail from Swiftwater Park earlier in the day but failed to return. She had intended to only be out for a short period of time and had no supplies with her. Family members had attempted a search but couldn’t locate Clinesmith whose vehicle was located at the trailhead with her cellphone in the center console.  Deputies along with Douglas County Search and Rescue volunteers responded and began coordinated search efforts. Deployed resources included ground searchers, K9 teams, drone operations, and roving searchers in vehicles.  At approximately 4:30 am on Friday, March 7, Search and Rescue volunteers located Clinesmith walking along Highway 138E. She was uninjured and did not require medical assistance. Clinesmith reported it had become too dark, and she felt it best to continue walking on the trail until she was able to get to the Tioga Bridge to get back to the highway. In total searchers believe she walked approximately 7.25 miles on the trail which had been badly damaged in the 2020 Archie Creek Fire and still contains numerous downed trees, debris and damaged bridges. She then walked approximately 4 miles along the highway before being located.  Searchers provided Clinesmith a ride and reunited her with her family.
