New Odanah is an unincorporated community and U.S. Census Bureau census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Sanborn, Ashland County, Wisconsin, on the Bad River Reservation of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. It holds most of the population of the Odanah village area (2020 CDP population 466) and, in local usage, is considered part of Odanah, the only name that appears on Wisconsin DOT maps. As a CDP it has no government of its own: the Bad River Band tribal government, seated at Odanah, is the largest employer in Ashland County (about 482 people) and operates the Bad River Lodge and Casino, the Moccasin Trail IGA, and other enterprises. Wild rice (manoomin), the Kakagon and Bad River sloughs, and Ojibwe cultural life, marked each August by the Manoomin Celebration Powwow, define its identity.
