Someone else posted this: The Ann Arbor Water board has published the 2010 water testing results and there are no health risks with swiming or drinking the huron river water between Delhi Metropark and Argo park.
They also did remediation of the soil on the west side of the Argo Cascades at the DTE site.
When we tube it, we start at Argo Park!! Walk past/behind the rental building, over the bridge & around the corner (bypassing stagnant water w/virtually no current & 1st cascade in tunnel), then walk on the rocks almost to the center opening of the 2nd Cascade, put tube in river (hold onto it!), sit in then go thru the Cascade.
My teenagers roll off the tube after the cascade, swim or wade their tube up to the next one and hop on again. If you just float you may circle around the pool between cascades several times... Get out at the end of the cascades and walk your tube back up the 2nd one. (Some people keep going down the river but a lot of it has little current...gotta get off & swim it. We tried bringing a paddle but doesn't work).
Now it's a hotspot for everyone...tons of people know the secret! If you kayak it, better know what you're doing so you can turn a lot and not crash into tubes. ***Wear coastguard approved life jacket if not a great swimmer or are drinking too much!
