That other thread about seeing filming locations reminded me Other thread I am going through north carolina next weekend and I was going to try to see the mentioned last fight seen where Magua met his fate. I have heard it was filmed at chimney rock. Does anyone have a precise location? I have been to the biltmore estate and got to see and drive over that brick bridge where the reflection in the water of the carriage was so clear. Any other places to see from LotM? I wont have a lot of time so I want to make it count
Thanks guys! |

Tag for info. I'll be there this summer and this very topic came up with my family this afternoon. It's kind of a crazy coincidence.

Pretty sure someone here lives near and knows the spots in NC. IIRC they knew someone who was an extra in the film as well.

I am actually going to be in Charleston to visit my kids, then was going to hit chimney rock or wherever on the way back home. If I had more time, I would love to meet fellow arfcom members. Have you ever been to the tattooed moose restaurant? There are so many places in Charleston that are good. Vicious biscuit for breakfast |

Go online and you can find sights that will show you were it was filmed; most locations aren't hard to get to, some are just off the road, ex. the waterfall trail scene (where they walk behind the falls) and the ending fight scene. Some of it was CGI. I used to live up that way and it was one of my ex's favorite movies so we hit most of the filming locations.

If I had more time, I would love to meet fellow arfcom members. Have you ever been to the tattooed moose restaurant? There are so many places in Charleston that are good. Vicious biscuit for breakfast View Quote My mother's side of the family has been in the SC low country since the 1600s and some of them still live there (and the family names are still on some of the plantation houses, buildings, islands, etc.- most people would recognize some of them) and I spent a lot of time there as a kid but I don't get down that way much anymore except to see a couple of cousins every now and then. Almost all of the family property has long been broken up and sold off. Never tried that restaurant. I went to Clemson and lived in the upstate for a while; even after moving I spent a lot of my weekends and off time up there climbing, biking, paddling, fishing, hiking and backpacking for years as well as doing some environmental work. I still get up there a fair amount, but nothing like I used to and it's changed so much with the influx of people with money. Back in the '80s and even into the '90s it really was like stepping back into time in some parts; I have some great memories- and some crazy ones- from those days. We've got some members up that way and I have some family up there way too. Far more Revolutionary Battles than most folks realize were fought in that region, and across SC, and there are a lot of historical markers; somewhere I've got an album of pictures of many of the sites and cemeteries. One of my friends was an amateur historian and artist and I used to be into photography so we tried to hit many of them. My ex was always happy to spend time in the woods too and loved that book and movie as well as that tri-state region (SC/NC/GA). ETA- Hit up the SC HTF and I bet you can find some arfcommers to show you around! SC is generally a very friendly state, just use some common sense. |

Face north, then real subtle like turn left That’s about as close as I can remember. Funny thing, in my hometown there used to be an old diner (gone over 30 years ago) where you would see all kinds of people there from regular Joe types to high falutin people driving rolls-royce cars. Anyway, this place was called the Kain-tuck-ee grill. |

The cliff area where the woman fell off of away from Mogwa is at Chimney rock park.
The water fall scene where they go behind was an indoor set filmed in an abandoned textile factory called Grimes where they once made velvet. The water was from a pipe. Currently Highland brewing is in that same property. I once worked as a welder in a business close by while they filmed it. |

The last sceen is filmed at chimney Rock. If you go to the park there are signs about it and they tell you where to go. At least it was rhat way in 2017 when we were there.

I’ve watched it a couple of times and found it be boring. |

The trail at Chimney Rock where the final scene was filmed is marked but there is a lot of fencing for hiker protection that makes it a bit hard to recognize that it’s the same location.

I grew up on Lake James. I remember going out on my neighbors boat and watching the explosions at the fort. The trail at Chimney Rock where the final fight scenes were filmed is closed now, but I got to hike it twice on class trips in high school.

I was there in 2009 and it was closed but at the time I got the impression it was a temporary closure while they did some work. |

Been a bit since I was last at the tattooed moose, but there are plenty of great places here. Give a shout when you know you’re coming and throw it up on the SC forum too. Maybe we can rally the troops at a local tavern. Oh, on topic, LotM is a family favorite 😁 |

Whatever you do make sure to do the chimney rock climb. Beautiful views up top. There was a sign but the tail was closed where the rock ledge scene was filmed, but that was around 2016 or so when I was there.
If you're wife likes the movie dirty dancing there's some film locations on Lake Lure from the movie. The stairs case is gone, but some of the greens on the golf course were used for filming. It's a beautiful area as well. |
