The search has been called off for a missing boater north of Dartmouth.

Two men were on a boat that capsized Thursday night on Cousins Lake.

A 50-year-old man swam to shore and called for help, while a 58-year-old Truro man remains missing.

The search ended Saturday night, according to RCMP.

Police say the area was difficult to access.

The Halifax, Musquodoboit and Valley Ground Search and Rescue Teams and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team assisted in the search.
