Keweenaw Logbook

The Keweenaw Logbook is an outdoor lifestyle publication + podcast created to highlight the grit and beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula. We want to feature individuals that lean into the environment, whether for work or for play, in all of the elements. The end product of these projects will be a working anthology of the people and places of the Keweenaw that encompass all the qualities that make this area of the world so special.
