Like much of Minnesota, the Suomi Hills were the site of extensive logging. This region was logged for pine between 1905 and 1910, and today the forest has transitioned to deciduous maple, oak, and basswood that makes the region beautiful to visit in the fall. Beaver, loons, and many other birds make the Suomi Hills a great place to experience wildlife.
