where was the dukes of hazzard filmed
“The Dukes of Hazzard” was filmed in several different places over its run, mainly in Georgia and California, plus Louisiana for the later movie.
Main answer (TV show)
For the original TV series (1979–1985), the key filming locations were:
- Georgia (early episodes) – The first episodes were shot on location around Covington, Oxford, Social Circle, Conyers, and Loganville, Georgia, standing in for the fictional Hazzard County, Georgia.
- California (most of the series) – Production later moved to California, using:
- Walt Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch, Newhall, California, for a lot of the rural exteriors.
* Santa Clarita, California, area for additional exterior scenes.
* Stage 20 at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, for interiors and backlot work.
Think of it this way: the “country roads” you see early on are largely Georgia backroads, while most of the later seasons’ Hazzard County is actually California ranch land and studio sets.
Notable Georgia spots fans visit
Fans still tour many recognizable TV locations around Covington and nearby towns:
- Hazzard town square – Covington Town Square, Covington, GA.
- The Boar’s Nest – on Flat Rock Road near Oxford, GA.
- Uncle Jesse’s farm – near Loganville, GA.
- The famous General Lee dirt-mound jump – at Seney Hall, Oxford College of Emory University, in Oxford, GA.
These sites are popular road‑trip stops for fans who want to see “Hazzard County” in real life.
2005 “Dukes of Hazzard” movie
If you meant the 2005 theatrical film instead of the TV show:
- Much of the movie was filmed in Louisiana , with Clinton, Louisiana, commonly cited as a primary base, including its courthouse square.
- Some ranch and town exteriors also used the Columbia/Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank, California.
So: TV show = mostly Georgia and later California; 2005 movie = mostly Louisiana plus some California studio ranch work.
