Abstract
GEOMORPHIC SETTING: Argo Cascades (Fig. 1) is a former millrace or canal, about 1,500 ft long below Argo Dam, that supplied water to a Detroit Edison hydropower station. The canal was held in place by an earthen embankment that was constructed parallel to and adjacent the Huron River. The site lies in a valley that cuts through glacial moraines on either side. Canoes and boaters using the Huron River could enter the canal from an impoundment above Argo Dam; however, a portage from the canal was required to reenter the river below. The millrace canal was transformed into a series of pools connected by short drops that have eliminated the need for a portage.
