Review:
Iargo Springs in Oscoda, Michigan, are natural springs formed from water that flows from underground to the surface. The springs can be accessed from the road by steep stairs going down to the Au Sable River. There are several viewing decks and a boardwalk through the springs. Man-made barriers surround the springs and form small waterfalls. The wooden boardwalk is more than 1,000 feet long as it winds through the springs. The springs are located just off of River Road National Scenic Byway, which has a panoramic view of the Au Sable River. During the pre-settlement time, the springs were used as a source of drinking water and dams were built by early loggers at the turn of the century. The dams were used to divert water to the nearby logging camps. The Highbanks Trail starts at the springs and heads east past Lumberman’s Monument.
