| Situated in the Baptism River
valley along Minnesota State Highway 1, six miles inland from
Lake Superior, is Finland, Minnesota. This small community of
Finnish descent was carved out of the rugged wilderness in the
1890's.
Today the Heart of the Arrowhead is bustling with business and beauty. It is the home to many restaurants, lodging facilities, and recreational opportunities. With the wealth of lakes and trails in the Finland area, the only problem is deciding what to do first. Fishing, camping, snowmobiling, skiing, dog sledding, and many other outdoor sports are available. Many of the lodging establishments also feature true Finnish saunas. |
