The body of a man missing for almost a week in Lake Alexandrina, south of Adelaide, has been found.

Police held grave fears for the 31-year-old, who went missing on Friday.

He had ventured onto the lake in an inflatable canoe with a 19-year-old man who was found alive and floating in the water the same afternoon.

Search efforts over the weekend and on Monday failed to find the missing man with bad weather forcing authorities to suspend operations on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The search resumed on Thursday morning with the man's body found among reeds at Mulgundawa, about 25 kilometres east of Milang.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances and a report would be prepared for the coroner.
