Where Was ‘Ozark’ Filmed? The Georgia Lakes and Towns That Played Missouri

The Byrdes spent four seasons washing cartel money on a Missouri lake that, almost every time you saw it, was sitting in Georgia. Georgia is the answer to where was Ozark filmed, specifically two reservoirs north of Atlanta, Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus a string of metro Atlanta diners, parks and one very old drive-in. Netflix’s own Tudum travel guide concedes that Ozark was not shot in the Ozarks and that most of the real filming happened in Georgia, and KOMU in Columbia, Missouri, reported that only a few establishing shots came from the actual Lake of the Ozarks.

Bluff Oak (Quercus austrina)

Back to the plant listNative Plant List for Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Quercus austrina, the Bluff Oak (also called bastard white oak), is a medium-sized deciduous tree endemic to the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. It is a true member of the white oak group, and like its famous cousin it has rounded, bristle-free leaf lobes and acorns that mature in a single season. Despite that family resemblance, bluff oak has a narrow, specific habitat requirement that keeps it uncommon almost everywhere it grows: rich, well-drained soil on river bluffs, natural levees, and calcareous or shell-influenced ground.
