This is the third in our series of looking back at the Georgia filming locations for The Dukes of Hazzard. It’s a little known fact that only the first five episodes from season one were filmed in Georgia. In fact, most of the filming took place during the winter of 1978 in and around the towns of Covington, Conyers, and Social Circle. After that, filming moved to the Warner Brothers Burbank Studios in Burbank, California and Walt Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch in Newhall, California.

Original air date: February 9, 1979

Synopsis: Bo and Luke help their old friend, Mary Kaye Porter, escape a crime boss who is after her to recover $118,254.37 she took from him as a trust fund for her unborn baby.

While outrunning Enos in Cooter’s Plymouth, the Duke boys jump over an old wooden bridge. Seems Cooter was hauling moonshine whiskey for Boss Hogg in the car. Today, the wooden fence on the sides has been updated with concrete and metal side rails.
