Two Chairs No Waiting<\/p><\/div>\n

The body of water called “Myers Lake” on The Andy Griffith Show is actually called the “Upper Franklin Reservoir.”\u00a0 The reservoir is located in Franklin Canyon Park in Hollywood hill of Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

We talked about this area back on episode 13 of Two Chairs No Waiting back in January 2009.\u00a0 For some reason that is one of the most downloaded and searched for episodes so I thought it would be a good time to return to Myers Lake.<\/p>\n

Franklin Canyon Park is a public park located near Benedict Canyon at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The park comprises 605 acres, and is located in what is said to be the geographical center of the city of Los Angeles. The park features a 3-acre lake (a.k.a. Franklin Lake or Myers Lake by Mayberry fans), a duck pond (Heavenly Pond),\u00a0 and over five miles of hiking trails. The park was used for the opening of The Andy Griffith Show.<\/p>\n

The park traces its beginnings to 1914 when William Mulholland and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power built a reservoir in upper Franklin Canyon. The 1930s began the frequent use of the canyon for filming. Today about 25 films are shot there each year.<\/p>\n
