where was last of the mohicans filmed

The Last of the Mohicans (1992) was primarily filmed in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, despite the story being set in colonial New York. Key filming locations included Chimney Rock State Park (notably around Hickory Nut Falls), the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, Lake James, DuPont State Recreational Forest, and other parts of western North Carolina. Some iconic scenes like the final fight and village scenes were shot around Chimney Rock and Hickory Nut Falls. The Biltmore Estate provided the backdrop for scenes set in "Albany, New York." These areas showcased waterfalls, forests, and mountainous terrain that stood in for the film's historical setting.
