Walk a 7 circuit outdoor Labyrinth at the Otto Labyrinth Park in Otto, North Carolina!
A labyrinth is a magical single path maze. A maze has many paths and is essentially a left-brain puzzle. A labyrinth is a right-brain intuition and creativity enhancer. Let the labyrinth answer your questions and bring you peace. We opened the Otto Labyrinth Park to the Public in 1998. Come walk with us!
Walk the Otto Labyrinth at Mountain Valley Center.
Between the ponds and the creek, 10 tons of stone have gathered to form a classic 7-circuit labyrinth. It has been placed there for all to enjoy and use.

The labyrinth is open dawn to dusk. The Welcome Center is open in the Afternoons Wednesday - Saturday. After hour activities must be arranged in advance at Mountain Valley Center.
Guided tours of the labyrinth and special group activities must be arranged in advance.
We have established a non-profit organization to facilitate development of facilities at the Labyrinth. Plans include building a "screen house" with restrooms and a fireplace just beyond the pond. Plans have also been drawn up for building several cabins in the woods to accommodate visitors on site.

Otto Labyrinth Park Gatherings
The first Gathering at the Otto Labyrinth Park was in the Summer of 1998. We had just completed building the Labyrinth, and 5 of us Gathered to walk it, build a fire, drum and sing. Over the past 20 years we have offered Gatherings throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. Sometimes 5 people attend, other times 60 people come. Always the perfect number for the Energy that's needed at the time.
This year we are waiting to complete the Earth Bag Pavilion at the Park before we schedule events. 
Follow us on FaceBook to learn more and keep informed about Park events!
Gatherings are always Free. We do appreciate any love offerings you make to support the maintenance of the Park.
So plan to join us this year. What the world needs now is the Energy of Peace and Renewal. We are pleased to offer a place to connect throughout the years.
