Odanah is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in the Town of Sanborn, Ashland County, Wisconsin, on the banks of the Bad River. It is the main village and seat of government of the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa, whose reservation totals 124,655 acres straddling Ashland and Iron counties along the south shore of Lake Superior. The Bad River tribe is the largest employer in Ashland County (about 482 people), and the community anchors the Kakagon and Bad River Sloughs, a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance holding the largest natural wild rice bed on the Great Lakes. Population figures for the tiny CDP itself are drawn from the 2020 Census via secondary reporting and are flagged where a primary Census page could not be fetched.
