About Bonanza
Bonanza is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho, with roots as a gold mining settlement. The site is privately owned but has remained open to the public, giving visitors a chance to explore what remains of this once-active community.
Nearby, the town of Custer operates a museum dedicated to the gold-rush era, where guests can learn about daily life during that period and even try their hand at searching for gold — making the area a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in Idaho's mining past.
Bonanza is accessible by passenger car, so no special vehicle is required to reach it.
