Where was Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives filmed?

Jason (C.J. Graham) crosses paths with Lizabeth (Nancy McLoughlin) and Darren (Tony Goldwyn), two summer camp supervisors. They are on their way to oversee the reopening of the summer camp, but unfortunately, they never make it. Jason attacks, ends their lives and leaves their bodies hidden in the woods. This bone-chilling encounter, along with some intense chase and driving horror scenes, came to life in the picturesque town of Rutledge, Georgia. One turn in the road, adorned with the sign of Camp Forest Green, was shot at the intersection of Fairplay Rd. and Old Mill Rd. in Rutledge. Although the original sign no longer exists today, fans can still visit the town and drive through these roads to experience the exact filming locations. Get to Rutledge from Atlanta by taking I-20 E for approximately an hour. If you're coming from Covington, it's a shorter drive of around 25 minutes via the same route. Unfortunately, public transport isn't available from both Atlanta and Covington.

Sheriff Garris's daughter, Megan (Jennifer Cooke), and her fellow camp counselors Cort (Tom Fridley), Sissy (Renee Jones), and Paula (Kerry Noonan) arrive to report Lizabeth (Nancy McLoughlin) and Darren (Tony Goldwyn) missing. Tommy (Thom Mathews) uses their disappearance to argue that Jason (C.J. Graham) has returned, but only Megan, who seems drawn to him, believes his claims. The Hard Labor Creek State Park, at 5 Hard Labor Creek Road in Rutledge, Georgia, provided the backdrop for the camp scenes. The park borrows its name from Hard Labor Creek, a small stream that meanders through the property. In addition to its natural beauty, the park also boasts an 18-hole public golf course, complete with a pro shop, driving range, rental cars, and discounts for senior citizens. The Rocky Creek adds to the allure of the golf course, providing water hazards, including the 14th hole with its distinctive water wheel. The park administration is usually very accommodating to fans of the movie. They often give visitors keys to explore the park and filming location, as long as it's available. The most direct route is via I-20 E, with an estimated travel time of about an hour by car for those traveling from Atlanta to Hard Labor Creek State Park. If you're starting your journey from Covington, the drive is considerably shorter, roughly 25 minutes, using the same route.

Tommy (Thom Mathews) is in an old, dilapidated phone booth beside a deserted gas station. The lights from his pickup truck illuminate him as he dials Megan (Jennifer Cooke) to discuss their strategy for capturing Jason Voorhees (C.J. Graham). Karloff's General Merchandise, near Highway 213 & Old Starrsville Road outside Covington, Georgia, provided the backdrop for this scene. The red brick building perfectly fit the eerie atmosphere of the scene. The telephone booth and the sign "Karlov's General Store" were specifically props set up for the movie. The building is in Starrsville, Georgia, off Highway 213 outside of Covington, and still stands today. Although the telephone booth prop is no longer present, fans can still visit and recognize the red brick building. The only available mode of transportation is by car. If you're traveling from Atlanta, expect a roughly 40-minute journey via I-20 E. If you're starting from Covington, the drive will be considerably shorter, just about 10 minutes, using Jackson Hwy, GA-36 W, and County Rd 213.

Sheriff Garris (David Kagen) escorts Tommy (Thom Mathews) out of town, aiming to take him to a campsite. However, Tommy insists on visiting the cemetery to show the sheriff a grave. Various locations offered the backdrop for this scene, adding an authentic touch to the film. The chase scene was filmed at the Daniel Morgan Rd. and Fairplay Rd. in Rutledge, Georgia intersection. Fans of the movie will recognize this as the location where the car turns onto the road leading to the cemetery. The memorable shots showcase the area outside the camp and the drive to the cabins depicted in the movie. The location is close to Covington and Atlanta. Take I-20 E for a travel time of around 40 minutes by car, to reach the intersection of Daniel Morgan R. and Fairplay Rd. in Rutledge from Atlanta. If you're coming from Covington, the same route would only take about 20 minutes by car.

Tommy (Thom Mathews) and Megan (Jennifer Cooke) are at the police station, following Tommy’s apprehension. This diversion allows the resurrected Jason Voorhees (C.J. Graham) to infiltrate the summer camp unnoticed, leading to the gruesome demise of Paula (Kerry Noonan) and Sissy (Renee Jones) while sparing the children. In an intense turn of events, Megan and Tommy break free from the police station and reach the lake. 1174 Monticello St SW in Covington, Georgia, was the setting for this scene. This former library is now a medical supply store. Covington's unique charm and Southern appeal made it popular for filming locations during the '70s and '80s. The town has appeared in numerous other films and television shows, including Vampire Diaries, Rob Zombie's Halloween 2, Vacation, and Doctor Sleep. Drive to Covington, approximately 35 miles southeast of Atlanta. Once in Covington, take Turner Lake Rd NW and Clark St SW to find the former library building functioning as a medical supply store.
