Paddle and Portage media is excited to announce new ownership and management, while maintaining its current core team of contributors. Paddle and Portage was founded in January by local journalist and author Joe Friedrichs and has been well-received by the BWCA Wilderness and broader paddling communities. The company offers a unique perspective on the intersection of news, adventure, and storytelling from the Boundary Waters, as well as other paddling destinations across North America.
