The men ended up on a rock. Then, two of the men swam south, reached the bank and got themselves free. The other guy went north. He was able to make it to the edge of the water, but the embankment was too steep for him to get up.

Paramedics transported the man to the hospital to be checked out. Firefighters said he had a cut on his leg, and he was wet and cold, but should be okay.  

Firefighters told FOX 5 the man was happy to be out of the water and told them he underestimated the current.
