I've been living in a dairy-farming area of NY for 40 years, and when I first saw the movie, I thought it was NY. Great movie, just the same. Wes Studi is one of my all-time favorite Indian actors - even though he's kind of bad-guy Huron in the movie. My wife and I also like Daniel Day Lewis.
If you want to see NY, much depends if you like natural beauty, or would rather see what people have built on it and done to it. Personally, I like the unspoiled and undeveloped parts.
If you collect old farm journals, the old "Rural New Yorker" is a good one. I've got over a hundred going back to the 1920s. Obviously, that is specifically New York. I've also got a large collection of the mag. named "Farm Journal", printed in Pennsylvania, that covers a much wider area.
Northern NY near the St. Lawrence River is pretty flat, swampy, and kind of boring. It is though, the place where the only attack on Canada, was launched from US soil - by a bunch of drunken Irishmen called "Fenians." The Finger Lakes /wine country is pretty and rolling. Central New York has higher hills, still a lot of farming, and some of the best views in NY (in my opinion). The guy who wrote Last of the Mohicans had the Albany/Glens Falls/Cooperstown areas in mind, near where I live. Cooperstown has a mix of natural and man-made beauty. Otsego Lake, Baseball Hall of Fame (I've never gone there), Farmers Museum (neat place), Fennimore House, etc. Not far off is Howes Caves in Cobleskill (amazing underground place).
All in all though, I still think the central Adirondacks beats them all. I was there a few days ago and am heading up again tomorrow morning. They're getting frost every morning now, in Hamilton County.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
