Argo Park Canoe Livery

​About the Facility​

The Argo Canoe Livery is a busy spot drawing crowds looking to rent canoes, kayaks, and rafts to paddle down the Huron River from May-October. Restrooms, shelter, public boat launch, fishing pier and the Argo dam are all near the Argo Livery. The Argo Cascades, a series of nine small rapids, rock chutes and pools serving as a bypass channel to connect Argo Pond to the Huron River, are a popular attraction. Argo Livery is located within Argo Park and Nature Area, a 22 acre park alongside the Huron River.
