New Company Plans to Become Major Oregon Destination Developer
(TRAVPR.COM) USA - 4th March, 2016 - Rogue Wilderness Adventures™, an Oregon-based rafting, hiking, fishing and wine adventure company, today announced its merger with Morrison’s Rogue River Lodge.
Built in 1945 and in the same family for the last 50 years, Morrison’s Rogue River Lodge is much more than just an “Orvis Endorsed Fly Fishing Lodge.” It is a comfortable and stunning destination set on five, green acres along one of the most famous “wild and scenic” rivers in the country.
As part of the merger process, the lodge added Shannon Johnson as general manager with 27 years in the hotel industry; most recently at the Plaza Hotel in Ashland, Oregon, home of the famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
“Bringing the two companies together will enable us to build our reputation as a unique and superior outdoor recreation destination throughout the West,” said Brad Niva, president of Rogue Wilderness Adventures. The merger enables us both to increase our capacity to offer visitors and guests a diverse menu of recreation and accommodation options; pairing the historic lodge with: rafting, hiking, fishing, bird-watching, sightseeing, photography; and, regional wine tours.”
Niva will be president of the river and recreation company and in charge of new product development. He grew Rogue Wilderness Adventures 300 percent over ten years by leveraging the region’s many outdoor recreation opportunities; including the recreational and “wild-and-scenic” Rogue River.
