Crooms in Brooksville if you're riding atvs. No side x sides allowed there. Hogwaller if your into mud. Ocala national forest for some trail riding.
The ponds are probaly there to help drain off water cause its probaly very wet in the rainy season.
If you like being camped to death this game is for you. Way to many corners and rooms to hide in. Claymores behind every door. Shotguns are 1 shot kills most of the time. The spawns suck. The maps are huge. The footsteps are extremely loud. No dead silence except in field drops which doesnt last...
