East of Skandia, M-94 runs through forest lands and serves the communities of Sundell and Rumely before entering Eben Junction.

M-94 turns southerly briefly before returning to an east–west direction to head to the community of Forest Lake and ultimately Munising.

[3] South of Shingleton, M-94 runs through forest lands as a part of the Great Manistique Swamp.

Built as a part of a raceway flume on the river, the water level actually used to be higher than the road surface.

"[5] The bridge acted as a siphon because the water level was above the roadway,[6] and the structure has been featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not!

[12][13] M-94 was extended for the last time in 1998 over US 41 and through the old K. I. Sawyer Air Force Base to end at a newly designated M-553.

[14][15] In October 2016, heavy rainfall cause the culverts directing the Chocolay River under M-94 in West Branch Township to fail.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) started construction of a 129-foot-long (39 m), concrete, single-span bridge at a cost of $1.8 million on March 6, 2017, and opened the structure to traffic on June 28 of the same year.
