After the partition of the Bakelse Peel in 1864, the Beestenveld became much smaller and the former municipality of Bakel c.a. itself acquired the area of 362 ha.

Since 1979, the forests have been owned by the State Forestry Administration and more modern forest management has been applied, resulting in a greater diversity of Flora and Fauna.
Through these woods lies the Koordenkanaal and a part of it is currently part of the (new) Peelse Loop.
