McIntosh is on U.S. Highway 441 about 20 miles south of Gainesville and 6 miles south of Micanopy. Its population is about 514. It an authentic Old Florida village that is home and work place to real people, not a gentrified made up town like so many these days.
The narrow quiet streets, many of them unpaved, are shaded from the Florida sun by centuries old live oak trees draped with Spanish Moss.
