ponderosa ranch
was a theme park based on the popular 1960s television western Bonanza. The amusement park operated in Incline Village, near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, from 1967 until 2004. Portions of the last five seasons of the TV series and three TV movies were also filmed at that location.

Origins of the fictional Ponderosa Ranch
The Ponderosa was the fictional setting for Bonanza. According to the storyline, it was a 600,000 acre (2,400 km²) ranch on the shores of Lake Tahoe, nestled high in the Sierra Nevada, with a large ranch house in the center of it. Ben Cartwright was said to have built the original, smaller homestead after moving from New Orleans with his pregnant third wife Marie and his two sons, Adam and Hoss. The grown Adam, an architect/engineer, designed the later sprawling ranch house as depicted on TV. The fictional ranch was roughly a two hour horse ride from Virginia City, Nevada. (Note: There are slight variations to the origin of the Ponderosa Ranch, and one may take one’s pick from either the original “Bonanza” series, Lorne Greene’s 1963 song “Ponderosa”, the 1988-95 TV movies, or the 2001 PAX prequel series, “Ponderosa”).
