About Valley Spur

Valley Spur is a favorite Alger County destination for dedicated cross-country skiers and snowshoers.  It is located on M-94 approximately 5 miles west of Munising, Michigan in the Hiawatha National Forest.

The 27-mile cross-country trail system is groomed daily or as the need arises from December through March so that the trails are always ready.

All trails are groomed for both skate and classic ski. 

Valley Spur usually enjoys a deep snow base thanks to heavy accumulations from the lake effect off Lake Superior.
