Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters
In April 1934, five years after it was built, Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters was the site of a shoot-out between FBI agents and infamous gangster John Dillinger. Over 70 years later, Johnny Depp filmed portions of the Dillinger bio-pic ‘Public Enemies’ at the Lodge. You may not bump into Depp, but the old and new history of this unique location makes it something special.
