If you want to spend some time in the great outdoors, the Valley is the place to go. Chatsworth used to be the site of many working “movie ranches,” facilities used to film outdoor scenes. Once vibrant, they are now largely abandoned or redeveloped. One such site was the notorious Iverson Movie Ranch where Charles Manson once squatted with his followers.

Corriganville Movie Ranch is one of the only movie ranches still largely open to the public. The grounds are full of trails which wind in and out of rocky outcrops, basins, and abandoned pools where iconic movie of the '40s, '50s, and '60s were filmed. Today, Chatsworth is known as a hub of the adult film industry, with many studios located in town.
