Cannonsburg’s Haunted Forest & Spooky Forest Return October 9

Cannonsburg’s Haunted Events for 2026

Cannonsburg is bringing back not one, but two Halloween adventures this October! Perfect for a fall family adventure or thrill-seeking Halloween experience.

Brave the Haunted Forest if you dare, where live actors, eerie props, and haunted scenes will keep your heart racing.

For a lighter dose of Halloween magic, wander the Spooky Forest. With glowing lights, festive displays, and just-right chills, it’s the perfect pick for younger kids (and the young at heart).

Whether you’re here for the thrills or the seasonal cheer, Cannonsburg’s trails are ready to make this spooky season unforgettable with a truly unique haunted “house” experience. 

Both trails kick off October 9. Tickets are required for a time slot, so grab yours early! Read on to find out how you can enter to WIN tickets.

1. The Haunted Forest

Where? Cannonsburg Ski Area, 6800 Cannonsburg Rd NE, Belmont, MI 49306

What’s it about?
Expect jump scares, creepy characters, and plenty of spooky sounds echoing through the woods. The Haunted Forest is all about thrills—and only the brave should enter! It’s chilling Halloween adventure best suited for older kids and adults.

The walk is roughly ½ mile long and takes place on a lit dirt path that winds through the trees. The trail is very narrow, uneven and rocky. It is not stroller or wheelchair accessible.

Attire Advice: Dress warmly. With the cool evening temperatures, you’ll want layers, comfortable walking shoes, and perhaps even hats and mittens. Once you’ve braved the forest, the fun isn’t over—grab a snack, gather around the fire pits, and relive your favorite scares of the night.

Age Recommendation: Kids must be at least five years old to participate. The Haunted Forest is designed to be adventurous and scary, and they don’t want any young kids to be afraid. Earlier time spots are recommended for younger children
