Based on North Florida forests and springs. Leonida's wild north. Springs clear enough to see the bottom, hunting cabins and pine flatwoods, drawn from the Ocala National Forest and Florida's spring country.
Pine forest, crystal springs and lakes you can hunt around.
Ocala National Forest, Marion County, FL
The pine forest and sand roads of Mount Kalaga have been matched to Ocala National Forest: 380,000 acres of scrub, longleaf pine and clear springs an hour and a half from Orlando.
Silver Springs State Park, Ocala, FL
Trailer 2's crystal-clear spring has fans pointing at Silver Springs, Florida's oldest attraction: glass-bottom boats since the 1870s, wild monkeys and water you can see 80 feet into.
North Florida hunt camps, Apalachicola National Forest, FL
Mount Kalaga's hunting culture has a real home in the Panhandle's national forest: Apalachicola's half million acres of pine, sinkholes and swamp, where deer season runs from fall into winter.
Rainbow Springs and Ginnie Springs, Dunnellon and High Springs, FL
A travel idea for Mount Kalaga's swimming scene: Rainbow Springs, a state park headspring you can float in, and Ginnie Springs, the private tubing and cave-diving spot on the Santa Fe River.
Lake George and the St. Johns River, Putnam County, FL
A travel idea for Mount Kalaga's lake country: Lake George, Florida's second-largest lake, on the north-flowing St. Johns, ringed by old fish camps, a Navy range and Silver Glen Springs.
Torreya State Park and Britton Hill, Liberty and Walton County, FL
Florida's high point is 345 feet, so Mount Kalaga's mountains are Rockstar's invention; the closest real thing is the Apalachicola River bluffs at Torreya and the marker at Britton Hill.
Two days through Florida's interior: glass-bottom boats at Silver Springs, the Ocala pine forest, fish camps on Lake George, a swim at Rainbow Springs, then south through cattle country and cane fields to Clewiston.
