In Texas, there is a point where five counties meet:

The (roughly) triangle shaped county is Delta County. The county to the north is Lamar County. The county to the south is Hopkins county. The two counties to the east are Red River County (NE) and Franklin County (SE).

Lake Okeechobee in Florida is the best known location in the US where this happens, according to the Twelve Mile Circle website:

Looking at Lake Okeechobee on this Microsoft Encarta map clearly shows a point where five different Florida counties come together at a single point: Glades; Hendry; Palm Beach, Martin and Okeechobee. There is no other spot in the United States where this occurs.

The blog states that this is the only location in the US; as far as we can tell that’s correct, even though Ron Maupin found another near-occurrence in Texas.

There are five counties in Florida that meet in the middle of Lake Okeechobee.

I haven’t been able to find more, but the Wikipedia article implies that there may be more.
