North Oaks is over to the North East of Lakeshore and the 16 Activities and Collectibles can be accessed at any time, however, I recommend doing the activities once you’re in end game vehicles so you will have enough power and skill to pull off earning the 3 stars required in each of the activities as well as being able to smash through some of the billboards, the remaining collectibles can be acquired in any vehicle. I have broken the guides down into the own sections to help you find what you need below which are:
