The Honey Springs Battlefield site is approximately 1,000 acres. Visitors can enjoy hiking and wildlife while exploring the history of the American Civil War in Indian Territory. Six Tour Stops contain walking trails with 55 interpretive signs. The Tour Stops take visitors through the Union bivouac area, the Union line of battle, the Confederate line of battle (includes 1/8-mile of the original Texas Road), the Battle at the Bridge (Elk Creek), the Last Engagement and the Honey Springs Depot with Monuments. A new visitor center features exhibits about the battle (artifacts, graphics, and narratives). The Honey Springs Battlefield is located east of US Highway 69 between Oktaha and Rentiesville, Oklahoma. The visitor center is located 1.5 miles east of US Highway 69 off of Gertrude Avenue.
