Malibou Lake (not Malibu) is a man-made private lake in the Santa Monica Mountains located south of Paramount Ranch and Agoura Hills, and north of Malibu. The Peter Strauss Ranch is to the east.  Malibou Lake was created in 1926 after a dam was constructed at the confluence of Triunfo Creek and Lobo Creek. Water that overflows the dam is the headwater of Malibu Creek which flows to Malibu Lagoon which is part of the Santa Monica Bay or Pacific Ocean. The Century Lake and Dam, once known as Craig's Lake, is to the east of Malibou Lake on Malibu Creek. A private community of approximately 250 homes surrounds the lake. Homeowners are members of the Malibou Lake Mountain Club which maintains the lake, clubhouse, and common area. Malibou Lake has been the site of many movies including Gone with the WindThe Postman Always Rings TwiceThe Bad SeedButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Frankenstein. It continues to be used by the film industry. Former President Ronald Reagan owned a home at Malibou Lake. The community of Cornell is immediatley to the west.
