Argo Nature Area
Whitewater cascades, a paddle livery, and a leashed riverwalk minutes from downtown
About this park
The downtown gateway to the Huron River, with a paddle livery, the Argo Cascades whitewater channel, and a stretch of the Border-to-Border Trail running along the reservoir. Dogs walk leashed on the trail, with the U-M rowing team often on the water and float tubes drifting through the cascades on summer afternoons.

Synthesized from 1101 Google reviewsVisitors single out the cascades and dam views as the signature features, with fall color along the trail drawing repeat visits. The rowing team and tubing traffic give the river a constant low-key energy that few in-town walks match.

Before you go
Trail edges have exposed roots and rocks, so watch your footing on a leashed walk. The Cascades parking lot fills fast on warm summer weekends; arrive early or walk over from Bandemer across the bridge.
