Corriganville Movie Ranch, now named Corriganville Park, is another popular filming locale in Simi Valley and a favorite destination for Thousand Oaks party bus and limo rentals in Simi. It is located in eastern Simi Valley at 7001 Smith Road. Some TV-series featuring Corriganville are Gunsmoke (1955-1975), Bonanza (1959-1973), Laramie (1959-1963), Death Valley Days (1952-1970), Wagon Train (1957-1965), The Lone Ranger (1949-1957), Adventures of Superman (1952-1958), Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958-1961), The Fugitive (1963-1967) and numerous others. An underwater scene in Adventures of Superman was for example filmed in the underwater bunker here, nicknamed Robin Hood Lake, which is still standing today and is a popular place to photograph for clients of limousine services. Our clientele at the limousine services have told us about the many other movies featuring water scenes from the concrete pool here include Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), Jungle Jim (1948) and The African Queen (1951). The army fort in the film Fort Apache (1948), starring John Wayne, was also located at Corriganville. Recently we had tourists visiting here by limo rentals services to see their favorite filming locations here. The same fort was also featured in The Adventures of Tin Tin (1954-1959), a TV-series where most outdoor scenes were filmed here. The same fort was also used for filming The Swordsman (1948) and others. There’s also a cave here which was often used as an Indian hideout. Limo clients have recognized this cave from Arizona Whirlwind (1944), Billy the Kid vs Dracula (1966), The Fugitive (the episode “10,000 Pieces of Silver”) and Perils of Nyoka (1942). A sandstone rock formation known as Canyon Rock (Hideout Rock) is featured in Jungle Manhunt (1951) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).
