Teen rescued from mud in NE Pa. state park
WHITE HAVEN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in northeastern Pennsylvania say a teenager was rescued by emergency workers after getting stuck up to his waist in mud at a state park over the weekend.
Officials said the youth got stuck, then sank deeper as he struggled, in Nescopeck State Park in Luzerne County on Sunday afternoon while walking on land that was once a lake but has since drained.

I've run into situations a few times where I sank into mud while fishing when it wasn't just annoying, but also pretty scary and dangerous. Three times that I can think of.
The situation to avoid is wading in deep water, where there is deep, soft mud on the bottom.
