Argo Park Canoe and Kayak Livery
The Argo Livery is located at the Argo Cascades and offers the 1.5 hour river trip and stillwater paddling in 2 mile Argo reservoir. Boats available to rent are canoes, one-person kayaks, two-person kayaks, five-person rafts (6 with small children), tubes, and stand-up paddleboards. We have 100's of boats and we do not take reservations. Also offered are concessions, river merchandise, and river themed programs. Come paddle with us for a fun river trip enjoying outdoor adventures with friends and family!
The river trips are closed due to recent heavy rains causing dangerous high water conditions. We will update as soon as the water level comes down. The Gallup Livery will be open, weather dependent, every day for paddling kayaks, canoes, paddleboats and rowboats in 2-mile Gallup Pond.
We have two river trips down the current, the 2.5 hour Barton to Galluip trip and the 1.5 hour Argo to Gallup trip. Also offered are 2 hour stillwater paddles in the reservoirs. Boats available are kayaks, canoes, rafts, stand up paddleboards, paddleboats, and rowboats. In summer months we rent tubes for floats in the Argo Cascades.
Gallup Park Livery is located 3.7 miles downstream from Argo and is where our river trips end. The Gallup Livery offers the longer 2.5 hour river trip and in the spring and fall when the Argo location is closed Gallup offers the 1.5 hour trip. Gallup also has programs and stillwater boat rentals in 2.5 mile Gallup reservoir.
We offer many fun river events and programs such as River Camps for ages 7 to 14 years, River Kids for ages 2 to 7 years, night paddles, boat auctions, Huron River Day Festival, kayak and SUP instruction and much more. Please call the Gallup office 734.794.6240 if you have questions on river programs. Register for a program.
Parking at Argo on Summer Weekends
Argo Canoe Livery is busy on nice weather weekends and parking is limited, please carpool, bus or walk! We've improved weekend parking options by adding offsite Argo parking at Kellogg Eye Center with a short pleasant walk up the Argo Cascade pathway.
