Circular fireplace where Kirk Douglas is burning papers shows light colored stone above but right of center.

Think it was on movie tourist ,com
Fleur du lac estate
I think the lake location near Bridgeport (where Jeff is fishing at the beginning of the movie) is Twin Lakes.
It is. Jim Mitchum confirmed this in later years.
Looks to me like a Vikingholm castle on Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. The original builder and owner died in 1945 and for about 10 years it changed hands until the state took it over. The stonework looks very similar and they do offer tours, although I’ve never gone on one.
“The Lake” is actually Twin Lakes” Near Bridgeport. How can you possibly think it’s “Emerald Bay”? Look at the mountains in the background. Look how close the opposite shore is.
Does anyone know the EXACT location where the river falls scene is shot where there is an attempt on Mitchum’s life and his mute friend hooks the gunman with his rod, which causes him to fall to his death?
All it says here is “Near Sonora Pass”
I think this is the most iconic scene in the film.
Agree the waterfall is quite an iconic location.
It could easily be this place…

Chilnualna falls, Wawona Rd, California 95389 – located about 60 miles from Bridgeport (as the crow flies…but over 6 hours drive according to google maps!!!)
This if a fun hobby, especially if you are someone like me who is (part time) Bridgeport resident and long time lover of the Sonora Pass area. “The Falls” looks very similar to stretches of the middle fork of the Stanislaus river as it flows from Sonora pass itself west along highway 108. Check out this location — a gorge near where 108 crosses over the river https://tinyurl.com/6mdxt5md. Roughly speaking: 38.340534679530066, -119.82648161164457. This looks very similar, and definitely fits the bill for being “near Sonora Pass”. If not this exact location, my money is on this being on highway 108 between Dardanelle and Sonora Pass Summit. – Brian Wood
