FBI agents prepared for their raid on Little Bohemia at Voss' Birchwood Lodge.

In 1920, northern Wisconsin already was a playground for people from Chicago.

And when Prohibition flung open the door to organized crime, its remote lakes and forests became even more attractive to a certain kind of Chicagoan.

Al Capone had a fortified summer home on a lake near Hayward, to which hydroplanes flew whiskey from Canada.

His lieutenants frequented the saloons and brothels in Hurley. Rival Roger Touhy vacationed in Minocqua, fishing with a machine gun.

By 1934, Prohibition was over but the Depression was in full swing, and many people blamed the banks.

John Dillinger was the most-wanted bank robber, and he made a resort in Manitowish Waters famous when the FBI interrupted his stay there, killing a local but allowing Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and the other men to escape.

The spectacularly botched raid of Little Bohemia Lodge is at the center of the 2009 film 'Public Enemies,' starring Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Bale as FBI agent Melvin Purvis. It was filmed at Little Bohemia and around Wisconsin.

Now it's tourists who are hot on the gangsters' trail, not FBI agents.

Over the years, Little Bohemia has hosted throngs of what it calls 'bullet-hole customers,' named for the holes that still can be seen. In April 1934, Dillinger had just been wounded in a shootout with the FBI in St. Paul.

His girlfriend, Billie Frechette, raised on northeast Wisconsin's Menominee Indian Reservation, was in custody.

He and his gang decided to get away and regroup. The owner of their favorite tavern in Chicago recommended a lodge in Wisconsin's north woods, run by a friend.

Manitowish was the kind of place where 'every little lake had at least one illegal still working overtime,' writes Bryan Burrough, author of the 2004 book on which the film is based, 'Public Enemies, America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34.'

Nan LaPorte used to run her brother's moonshine downstate, and that's where she met Emil Wanatka.

Parts of 'Public Enemies' were shot at Little Bohemia Lodge.

They married and ran the Little Bohemia bar in Chicago, 'a favorite of underworld figures,' Burrough writes, before returning to her home in Manitowish. In 1931, they built a roadhouse on Star Lake.

When the party of 10 from Chicago showed up on a cold day in April, the Wanatkas were happy for the business.

But Emil recognized Dillinger, and Nan eventually grew worried and told her sister, who ran a resort down the road with her husband, Henry Voss.

Voss called the FBI and drew a map of Little Bohemia for agents. Its failure to mention Nan Wanatka's two watchdogs was only one of many miscalculations.

The gang had decided to leave early and was packing when the dogs started barking. Nervous FBI agents opened fire on three customers who were leaving after dinner, killing one and wounding the others.

Dillinger jumped out a window and ran away unnoticed. Baby Face Nelson ran another way, killed an FBI agent and wounded another agent and a constable. Then he stole their car.

Meanwhile, FBI agent Melvin Purvis sat in the driveway until dawn, thinking he had Dillinger trapped.

(In the film, however, Dillinger trades machine-gun fire with agents from inside the lodge and then is pursued through the woods; it's one of many discrepancies.)

The escape was a national scandal, embarrassing FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. The ensuing manhunt ended that summer when agents gunned down Dillinger outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago.

The gang had left many belongings at Little Bohemia, and after Dillinger's death, the lodge installed a museum. For a while, John Dillinger's father and sister ran it.

The lodge no longer rents rooms, but it operates a gift shop and restaurant, and its slogan is 'Dillinger only left because he had to.'

After the escape, gang member John Hamilton was shot by police from Hastings, Minn., as he, Homer Van Meter and Dillinger headed for St. Paul. Tommy Carroll, who already had reached St. Paul, was killed in June by police in Waterloo, Iowa.

Van Meter was killed that August by police in St. Paul. Baby Face Nelson died that November in a shootout on an Illinois highway.

Wisconsin's northwoods remained popular with gangsters. Ralph Capone, a mob cashier who served more than two years for income-tax evasion, bought a bar in Mercer, ran slot machines and was a popular resident until his death in 1974.

Sam Giancana brought his family to vacation in Rhinelander. Joe Saltis bought a lodge near Winter. Jimmy Hoffa was a patron of Jack O'Lantern Lodge in Eagle River, and the woods surrounding it were searched when he disappeared.

The shack where Baby Face Nelson spent three nights now is Cabin 5 at Dillman's Bay Resort.
