Trail Overview

679 Spur is an easy two-track route suited for stock high-clearance vehicles and anyone looking for a relaxed drive through Northern Michigan's forest trail network. Located within the Grayling Forest Management Unit, this single-lane dirt, gravel, and sandy trail winds through a mix of pine stands and hardwood forest, offering a quiet setting where wildlife sightings are common. Although the route is generally narrow, periodic wider sections provide enough room for oncoming vehicles to pass safely. The surface alternates between firm dirt, gravel, and loose sand, creating a straightforward ride with only minor changes in traction in dry conditions. The trail follows a scenic, forested corridor before ending at Post Road Cutover, making it a good connector for exploring additional routes in the area. Seasonal conditions can affect the sand and overall trail surface, so checking conditions before heading out is recommended. Visitors should remain on designated trails at all times and practice Tread Lightly principles to help protect the forest and keep the trail system open for future recreation.
