Halloween at Cannonsburg
1. The Haunted Forest
Where? Cannonsburg Ski Area, 6800 Cannonsburg Rd NE, Belmont, MI 49306
What’s it about?
Brace yourself for a chilling outdoor experience, where the woods come alive with hungry zombies, scary witches, ghosts, and nightmarish monsters!
As you navigate a lit dirt path stretching half a mile, be prepared to face heart-stopping scares at every turn. This is the ultimate test for thrill-seekers and scare lovers.
The walk is roughly ½ mile long and takes place on a lit dirt path that winds through the trees.
Scary props and actors will create a haunted experience that is sure to spook everyone.
Attire Advice: Dress warmly. With the cool evening temperatures, you’ll want layers, comfortable walking shoes, and perhaps even hats and mittens. Warm up at the fire pits and enjoy some cozy drinks and snacks.

2. The Kids Spooky Forest
Where? Same magical woods at Cannonsburg Ski Area
What’s it about?
The Spooky Forest is perfect for families and children! Enjoy a light-hearted Halloween adventure, with a blend of spooky and fun attractions. Yes, there will be headstones, spiders, and skeletons, but also friendly Halloween displays to delight the little ones.
The Spooky Forest is an interactive, outdoor Halloween experience for kids. It’s not very scary, especially when compared to some other area haunted houses and attractions.
It’s designed for a younger crowd, who have the ability to walk (or be carried) 1/2 mile.
There will be some spooky props in the forest, but they will be balanced out by fun, kid-friendly Halloween attractions.
The best part of the Spooky Forest is that you and your family can enjoy being active outdoors while having fun with Halloween characters.
Dates and Hours: Every Friday and Saturday from 6pm-9pm starting October 13th through October 28th.
Ticketing: $10 per person
