Malibou Lake is a small reservoir surrounded by a residential development in the Santa Monica Mountains near Agoura Hills, California.

[4] The 350 acres (140 ha) site includes rugged mountain terrain, exclusive ranch houses, cabins and a club, It has been a popular venue for filming due to its proximity to the Hollywood studios.

[1][6] In 1922, George Wilson and Bertram Lackey bought 350 acres (140 ha) of land near Cornell with the vision of creating a remote residential community surrounding a lake.

Because of this, the Malibou Lake Mountain Club received criticism from early cabin owners, who had purchased properties for up to $700 along roads such as "Lakeside Drive".

The hillsides nearby drained millions of gallons of water into Medea and Triunfo creeks and Malibou Lake was filled for the first time.

[12] Malibou Lake is located in the Santa Monica Mountains, half a mile south of Mulholland Highway, and over the hill, north of Malibu.

Two actresses who shot movies at Malibou Lake were Claudette Colbert in The Man from Yesterday and Betty Grable in Thrill of a Lifetime.

The heroes of the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid jumped from the top of a cliff into the lake.

A similar stunt act of jumping into the lake was performed by James Coburn for the film Our Man Flint.
