Visit The Malibu Creek State Park, The Location Where The Iconic TV Series, 'MASH' Was Filmed

American war comedy-drama TV series M*A*S*H, which aired from 1972 to 1983, tells the story of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War. The TV show features a blend of humor, drama, and social commentary by starring characters like Hawkeye Pierce, B.J. Hunnicutt, and Colonel Potter, each contributing to its success with their distinctive personalities.

However, to create a convincing backdrop for the narrative of the iconic series and the complexity of the story set on the war front, there was a need to film it at a picturesque location. M*A*S*H was thus shot in Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas, California.

Spanning 8,000 acres, Malibu Creek State Park offers a picturesque escape from California’s bustling urban landscape. The park is a flourishing haven for diverse wildlife, encompassing woodlands, grassy hills, and hiking trails. Its selection as the primary filming site for M*A*S*H stemmed from the need for expansive surroundings.
