Spruce blends quiet, rural living with easy access to outstanding water and woods. Set between Alpena, Harrisville, and Lincoln in Alcona County, it sits minutes from clear‑blue Hubbard Lake and a quick drive to Lake Huron. Weekends often mean trolling for walleye, launching kayaks at dawn, or tracing wildlife tracks in the Huron‑Manistee National Forests, a vast playground managed by the U.S. Forest Service. For pristine shoreline and dark‑sky stargazing, locals prize the dune‑backed trails at Negwegon State Park.
Families are served by Alcona Community Schools, a student‑focused district offering K‑12 academics, athletics, and career‑tech options at its Lincoln campus. Daily needs are covered by nearby markets and outfitters, while specialized care is close at MyMichigan Medical Center Alpena. Year‑round, residents ride snowmobile and ski trails, fish hardwater on quiet coves, and join community festivals in neighboring towns. Housing spans classic cabins and lake‑area cottages to acreage with room for workshops and gardens.
