This is not a difficult high point to do. Not time consuming at all. The route on the map isnt an actual trail you can get to. Its on a private logging road and was too muddy to pass if I wanted to ignore the signs. I followed the tiny signs on the main road and found a 1. It was very overgrown and muddy, but the trees were marked clearly, there was just no path, so it was like walking through the woods! Summit was very buggy, so bring Bug spray!
After all the talk about finding the summit; follow the directions on the highpointers. The dirt road is okay with some circling around bigger boulders as long as it is dry. You have to spot these tiny signs all the way up and it is an amazing view from the top took a car when you get up to the top there is also a mailbox to sign your name and to put it back inside the mailbox lots of empty pages.
Not a very exciting trail. There is no few at the top. A bit of a disappointment. Use Navigator in the AllTrails app and join the 84 other outdoor explorers who have completed this trail. Mount Arvon: Michigan Highpoint moderate Length Reviews Sort by:.

The eleven-mile drive from Skanee Road to the summit took about half an hour because I took it easy and stopped to check out a cool little roadside waterfall.

Not long ago Mt. Arvon had the reputation of being one of the most diffucult state highpoints to reach. Not due to a technical climb but due to remoteness and the maze of logging roads in the area. In the past few years however many improvements have been made. The road is now well-graded and numerous blue signs along the way help keep you on the right track on your way up. The road still is steep and rocky in a few sections, mainly within the last 2 miles, but can be driven with care by most vehicles I wouldn't recommend taking your new Caddie or BMW up it, however!!
Even so, I recommend stopping by the Baraga County Tourist Information building to inquire on road conditions before setting out. Address and phone number info is below.
