Argyle Legion Community Park
Located on the north side of the village along State Highway 78, the park was developed in the late 1940s through the
efforts of the American Legion. Now operated and maintained by the village. In 1993, through a cooperative effort
between the village and Argyle School District, new playground equipment was installed in the park. New lighted
basketball courts were added just south of the school, located next to the park. Additionally, American Legion Community
Park features a refurbished F-86H Saber jet. Argyle Elementary School Park is located behind the Argyle school campus
along State Highway 78 on the north side of the village. This playground is adjacent to Argyle Legion Community Park.

Robert B. Wenger Memorial Boat Landing
The village operates a small park and boat launch/landing on the East Branch of the Pecatonica River along State
Highway 81 and just west of the bridge. This launch affords numerous opportunities for fishing, boating, and
canoeing. Many area residents enjoy canoeing from “Thunder Bridge” along Old Q Road north of Argyle. The boat
launch also offers a small, covered shelter house with some picnic tables; the spot is ideal for a pre or post trip
snack or refreshments.
Louis and Carol Landing
The Village of Argyle has utilized the Louis and Carol landing on the East Branch of the Pecatonica River just off River Street to allow more users to access the river. This boat launch is more handicap accessible than the Robert E. Wenger Memorial Boat Launch.
Old Dam Fishing Site
Only remnants of the dam now remain in the waters of the Pecatonica River, but the site continues to be a fishing hot
spot, especially during the spring walleye run. The fishing site draws anglers from throughout the tristate region in pursuit
of northern pike, muskellunge, and catfish.
Other Recreation Areas
In addition to the previously mentioned developed areas for recreation, Argyle also has immediate access to the 220
acre Erickson Conservation Area, owned by the Driftless Area Land Conservancy.
