Ann Arbor EC votes to recommend dam removal
Ann Arbor's environmental commission voted 8-4 Thursday to recommend removing the Argo Dam, which would return the Huron River to a free-flowing state in that area.
The Huron River is vital to the quality of living in lower Michigan. The River is a classroom, practice facility, and “playground” for paddle sports; the river provides opportunities for people of all skill levels to enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and rowing. There is potential to expand the whitewater kayaking resources on the Huron River. New whitewater in lower Michigan will make Ann Arbor an even more attractive destination for paddle sports enthusiasts.
