A three-day search for a missing kayaker in a Halifax-area lake has concluded although the woman has yet to be found.

Search crews have been looking for 26-year-old Jashansdeep Kaur in Long Lake Provincial Park in Spryfield, N.S., since Sunday afternoon.

Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency told CTV Atlantic a kayaker had noticed an empty kayak floating in the lake, but no one was near the boat.

Kaur was reported missing around 12:40 p.m. Sunday.

Halifax Regional Police says search crews found Kaur’s cellphone and life-jacket, but they are still searching for the missing woman. They did not confirm exactly where her personal belongings were located.

The search included rescue boats with side-scan sonar and drones.
