Walking Along the Huron River

 Beautiful Ann Arbor!

These walls used to be covered with ordinary graffiti. Now: beautiful murals.

The artists’ names.




Just past the walkway with the murals, there’s a bridge over the exit from the Argo Cascades.

In 2012, an old spillway was replaced with recreational rapids
for kayaks and tubers, called the Argo Cascades. It’s a huge attraction!

The Cascades are really fun for kayaks.



Above the Argo Dam is a old RR bridge and a canoe livery. These paddle-boarders were returning to the livery.

  2. Love the life vest logo. I insisted on putting a life jacket on my five year old this week as he was with friends in the pool and it it helps. Love the Huron.

  4. I love how this beautiful mural is echoed on both sides of that walkway. It was great to see a collaboration among all those artists. This is a lovely mural and side mural.
