McIntosh county is located in eastern Oklahoma with Eufaula serving as the county seat. The county has a good percentage of its acreage in the form of water--specifically, about half of Eufaula Lake, the state's largest. Of the two state parks on the lake, Lake Eufala State Park is located here. Arrowhead State Park is located in Pittsburg County. Among the historic sites in the county is the Honey Springs Battlefield north of Rentiesville near the Muskogee County line.
