Make sure to watch till the end for a surprise wildlife encounter :) In this video my wife and I kayak the Huron River in Ann Arbor Michigan during the beautiful colors of fall. This trip was taken on October 20th, 2015. We launched from the Barton Nature Area in Ann Arbor, Michigan and took out at Gallop Park on the other side of Ann Arbor.
Just past Argo Park we entered the Argo cascades which the town built to help boaters avoid a former portage around the dam there. The cascades offer 9 drops in the river that make the river very fun. It is recommended that those who go through the cascades can swim and have experience paddling as boats can easily get swamped from the rapids. Both my wife and I got wet, but didn't tip.
This river flows near the University of Michigan campus, and several parts of campus can be seen as well as the University of Michigan hospital.
This was a beautiful paddle trip and I highly recommend you look into it if you are ever in the area.
