How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Rockstar calls Grassrivers the untamable jewel of Leonida's crown, where the gators are the best-known attraction but deadlier predators and weirder discoveries lurk among the mangroves; the trailers show airboats and flamingos in the wetlands.
The real place
The Everglades are a vast subtropical wetland, protected since 1947 as Everglades National Park. Wikipedia, Axios and the Miami Herald all identify Grassrivers and the trailer's airboat scenes with the Everglades, and Rockstar has said its research covered the area.
Visiting
Shark Valley on the Tamiami Trail (US 41) has tram tours and a 15-mile loop to an observation tower; there is a park entrance fee. Airboats are banned inside the national park, so airboat rides are run by private operators outside it.
