Leino's Riverside Resort has been a cherished family-run establishment in Squaw Lake, MN, since 1937, when Ellen Kananen and Eino Leino first opened the resort alongside a grocery store and a dance hall. Over the decades, the resort has evolved, with Bruce and Sandy Leino taking over in the mid-1980s and later expanding the property to include a gift shop and a pub, ensuring a continuation of family traditions and customer service.

With roots tracing back to Emil Kananen, who emigrated from Finland in 1904 and established a trading post, the Leino family has played a significant role in the community for over a century. In April 2024, Cory and Kari Leino Smith continued this legacy by purchasing Leino's Riverside Resort, dedicated to maintaining the spirit and hospitality that has defined the family business for generations.
