Adams of Eagle Lake is an American hour-long police series that aired on ABC in 1975.
Andy Griffith starred as Chief of Police Sam Adams and the episodes presented his attempts to maintain the law in a small resort town.
[2] Although supposedly set in northern California, the TV series location showed opening scenes and other outdoor shots actually taken from the southern California mountain resort communities of Big Bear Lake and Fawnskin, which were much closer to Los Angeles area television production studios.
In 1977, Griffith appeared in two additional television movies (The Girl in the Empty Grave and Deadly Game), both attempts to make use again of the same concept.
Griffith's character was now Chief of Police Abel Marsh, but he was still a lawman in a small town near a lake.
