Argo Nature AreaWith trails that wind through lush greenery and along the Huron River, this place is a nature lover's paradise. And let's not forget the abundant wildlife that calls this place home - from deer to beavers to songbirds, if you're patient enough, you might just spot them all. But here's my opinionated take on it - the best part about Argo Nature Area is the tubing on the Huron River. There's nothing more exhilarating than floating down the river, sun on your skin, and the sound of rushing water.
