We prove that every 3‐connected 2‐indivisible infinite planar graph has a 1‐way infinite 2‐walk. (A graph is 2‐indivisible if deleting finitely many vertices leaves at most one infinite component, and a 2‐walk is a spanning walk using every vertex at most twice.) This improves a result of Timar, which assumed local finiteness. Our proofs use Tutte subgraphs, and allow us to also provide other results when the graph is bipartite or an infinite analog of a triangulation: then the prism over the graph has a spanning 1‐way infinite path.
