    Where was Ozark Filmed? Guide to ALL the Filming Locations

Posted by Ra Moon Welcome to the Lake of the Ozarks, or the redneck riviera, as Marty Byrde claims in the first season of the hit Netflix series. However, very little was filmed in Missouri. Ozark was primarily filmed in and around Atlanta. The crime drama, now back for season 4 which will be the last one, was produced in Georgia to take advantage of the state's tax incentives to film there. Actually, the Ozarks have a much more inspiring nickname: the Missouri Magic Dragon due to the aerial look of this large reservoir. The plot revolves around Marty, a financial advisor in trouble, forced to launder money to save his family and his skin from the hands of a drug Mexican cartel. The series, which has been compared to Breaking Bad, stars Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, The Outsider), Laura Linney (The Truman Show, Mystic River), Julia Garner (Inventing Anna, The Americans), and young actress Sofia Hublitz. Here is our spoiler-free guide to the filming locations of Ozark - you'll find the season 2, 3, and 4 updates below in the report. The show features many establishing shots of the real Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Some iconic landmarks of the area appear during the series, including the Community Bridge, the Bagnell Dam Strip area, and the City of Lake Ozark water tower.

Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Lake Allatoona / Lake Lanier The scenes set in Chicago were actually filmed in the Windy City. In the first episode, "Sugarwood", there is a scene shot at the BP Pedestrian Bridge in Millennium Park in Chicago. The shocking scene at Gary’s building was recorded on East Lake Street and North Garland Court in Downtown. Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Millennium Park / Street

The Ozark house

The Byrde family house is located in Flowery Branch (Georgia) by Lake Lanier, off Gaines Ferry Road with Bailey Drive. You can see the house's dock from Van Pugh North Park. According to Zillow, some of the mansions in the area have an estimated price of around half a million dollars. This is a private residence - if you are visiting, please be considerate to the owners of the property. Image courtesy of Netflix - House Map A key filming location of the first and second seasons was the Blue Cat Lodge. The crew built a set using an old restaurant near Canton on Lake Allatoona. The inspiration for this location was the Alhonna Resort and Marina in the Ozarks. Image courtesy of Netflix - Google Maps The dockyard where members of the Langmore family work is just across the street from the Blue Cat, the Little River Marina. Also, a motel scene was filmed at the Pine Crest Motor Lodge in Holly Springs (Cherokee County). Image courtesy of Netflix and Google Maps - Motel Map An anonymous reader revealed to us that Darlene Snell's house is located at 777 Rivendell Lane near Alpharetta. This residence is privately owned and we ask you to respect their privacy. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map The exterior of the strip club Lickety Splitz was filmed in an abandoned building near Motel 6 at Oakbrook Parkway in Norcross. The interior was filmed on a soundstage at Eagle Rock Studios, also in Norcross. Image courtesy of Netflix and Google Maps According to Explore Georgia, the fishing scenes were filmed at the Jones Bridge Park in Peachtree Corners (pictured). In the fourth episode, "Tonight We Improvise", Marty meets with a stripper at the Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q restaurant in Marietta. The scene from the fifth episode, "Ruling Days", with Petty and Russ after going fishing was shot near The Sunset Grille restaurant at the Victoria Harbour Marina in Woodstock. Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Park / Restaurant / Victoria Harbour In episode eight, crime lord Esai Morales invites Marty and Bruce to Chateau Elan, a winery and luxury resort in Braselton in North Georgia. Spanning about 3,500 acres of rolling hills and magnificent forests, the complex also offers a golf club and a health spa. Image courtesy of Netflix and Dave Morrison - Map The restaurant from the 8th episode, "Kaleidoscope", is The Silver Skillet in Atlanta (pictured). The diner featured in several episodes of season 2 looks very much like the same used for the 2017 film Baby Driver. The set was built in an old Denny's restaurant in Forest Park near Atlanta. Image courtesy of Netflix - Silver Skillet Location When Wendy and the kids are fleeing in episode 10, "The Toll", they stop at a gas station with a restaurant called Las Tortas located at 6405 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard in Norcross. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map The restaurant in the fourth episode of season two, "Ace Deuce", is the Big Creek Tavern in Buford. The funeral scene in episode six, "Outer Darkness", was filmed at the Mount Pisgah Methodist Church Cemetery in Johns Creek. Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Restaurant / Cemetery

The new Season 3 locations

The Missouri Belle Casino, located in Osage Beach in the series, was filmed in Stone Mountain near Atlanta. The old boat is moored to the REI Boathouse pier, as you can still check it out on Google Maps. Image courtesy of Netflix - Missouri Belle Location The Big Muddy Casino was filmed in Savannah. The ship is docked in front of Joe's Crab Shack seafood restaurant on River Street. The big building across the river is The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa. Image courtesy of Netflix - Filming Location Map in Savannah The Spanish Revival mansion of cartel boss Navarro in Michoacán was filmed in Atlanta, at the awesome Westview Abbey Mausoleum in the Westview Cemetery. Built in 1943, the chapel of this hidden gem of the city boasts 27 ornate stained-glass windows. (Thanks Cary for your help finding this location). Image courtesy of Netflix - Map The motel featured in season three is the Cheshire Motor Inn at 1865 Cheshire Bridge in Atlanta. The motel also appeared in the 2013 comedy Identity Thief, Clint Eastwood's 2018 film The Mule, and the Netflix 2020 movie Hillbilly Elegy. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map The Kentucky horse farm from episode five, "It Came From Michoacán", is the Serenity Farm located in the heart of Georgia’s Horse Country at 1162 Gantt Road in Alpharetta. According to Sotheby's, this 40-acre property surrounded by nature trails and lush pasture has an estimated value of $6,750,000. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map The police office (Camden County Sheriff's Department) from episode six, "Book of Ruth", is the Doraville City Municipal Court at 3765 Park Avenue. The Dollar General store is located at 6355 Jimmy Carter Boulevard in Norcross. Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Police Station / Store Also in the sixth episode, Ben Davis and his nephew Jonah Byrde track Ruth Langmore to a cash dropoff filmed at the Starlight Drive-In Theatre and Flea Market at 2000 Moreland Avenue SE in Atlanta.

Ozark Season 4 locations

The Lazy-O Motel is the Americas Best Value Inn in Conyers at West Avenue and Interstate 20. This is the same motel where the Byrde family is staying when they arrive at the Ozarks in the second episode of season one. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map In the second episode, "Let the Great World Spin", there is a scene filmed at Lakewood 400 Antiques Market (pictured), a 75,000 square feet warehouse on the outskirts of Cumming. The “missing person” billboard (which we do not publish to avoid spoilers) appearing for the first time in episode two is located neat Gerald's Auto Repair at 1360 Atlanta Highway in Cumming. Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Antiques Market / Billboard The Shaw Medical Solutions building in Chicago is actually the PNC Bank branch at 1075 Peachtree Street NE in Midtown Atlanta. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map A street scene set in Chicago from the third episode, "City on the Make", was filmed at 191 Peachtree Tower in Downtown Atlanta. Charlotte meets Erin Pierce (Helen's daughter played by Madison Thompson) at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, with Chicago's diamond-shaped Crain Communications Building CGI'd into the background (pictured). Image courtesy of Netflix - Maps: Peachtree Tower / Piedmont Park The diner scene with Javi Elizonndro Navarro (played by Alfonso Herrera) was filmed at the elegant St. Cecilia Italian restaurant at 3455 Peachtree Road NE in Buckhead.

The speedway was filmed at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, located about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Image courtesy of Netflix - Town / Speedway The abandoned mall from episode seven, "Sanctified", is the famous Starcourt Mall used in the third season of Stranger Things. As the Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth has many vacant storefronts, it has been used from time to time in the audiovisual industry. Image courtesy of Netflix - Map In episode eight (or the first of season four, part two), Ruth drinks coffee and meets the rapper at the Landmark Diner at 60 Luckie Street NW in Downtown Atlanta.

   Ya when he says he made that brosur at Kinkos that was a flaw. The closest Kinkos around here is a hub in Jeff City but there's a Staples in Osage Beach that's where he would have went

      "Brosur"? Really? It’s shameful that people in the United States don’t know their own language. Are you trying to say "brochure"? And you do know that "would have went" isn’t a phrase in English, either, don’t you? I mean, no adult could be this stupid, could they? Not to mention that no adult could possibly believe that a fictional show — set in Missouri — might not represent locations literally, right?

      The person you replied to was obviously being facetious in their grammar, considering where this series was made. What's shameful though, is your reaction. You know that some people 'literally' enjoy friendly conversation like that sometimes, right? I mean, i dunno, maybe yur two stoopid too no?

      Just a heads up, brochure is a French word, not an English word. So, it’s not in their own language. If you’re going to call someone stupid, make sure you are absolutely correct. Hope this helps!

      Season 3 is currently being filmed and was just here in Savannah, GA last week filming. I got to go on the "casino boat" and watch the filming in action - pretty cool!!! They returned to Atlanta to continue filming and said it will wrap up around October 2019 and expect season 3 to come out in March 2020 or around that time frame.

    I suspect the horse farm is near the Snell Farm in Alpharetta, GA, as the countryside looks similar. I have not made time to search it out yet. The Snell barn being nearby just around the corner makes it more likely as it makes filming/transportation easier. If you are not familiar with the location of the Snell house it is at 777 Rivendell Lane. Cheers.

    The Langmore trailers and a lot more were shot at Chestnut Ridge Park in Flowery Branch. They used that entire area as their own backlog throughout the series, building Mason’s church and burning it down there, all action and shooting scenes and more. I made a video on it if you search “Langmore trailers Adam Was Here”.
