Lake Leonida on the GTA 6 map
Lake Leonida is the large freshwater lake at the heart of the state, with the sugar town of Ambrosia on its shore.
Where it is
On our map the lake sits almost dead center, ringed by farmland, with Ambrosia to the north-east and the Grassrivers wetlands beginning to the south. Rockstar has confirmed the name; its exact size and shape here are our estimate.
What's there
Rockstar names the lake in its description of Ambrosia. Expect boats, fishing and the flat, open country of Leonida's farming interior around it.
Its real-world twin is the source of the Everglades, which is why the wetlands of Grassrivers lie just to the south.
Confirmed or estimated?
This place's position on our map is an estimate based on Rockstar's footage and descriptions. We'll pin it precisely once the game is out on November 19.
