8 Labyrinths to Visit in Oklahoma

Oklahoma labyrinths. Let’s look at 8 of the best labyrinths to visit in Oklahoma (there almost 50) that are accessible to the public from around the state. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder.

Before we get to my recommendations for Oklahoma I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did. If you are interested in knowing things like what the largest labyrinth is in the US, where the Northernmost, Southernmost labyrinths are in the US, and similar questions, it is worth a read: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. All of these Oklahoma answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from Oklahoma:

Here is how Oklahoma compares to the USA. Notably it ranks 16th for the percent of indoor labyrinths at 16.7%.

Why visit a Labyrinth ?

Labyrinths are ancient and mysterious symbols that have been used for centuries for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. They are also a lot of fun to explore! If you're looking for a unique and challenging experience, walk a labyrinth with intention - it often leads to self-discovery. Personally, I like to walk labyrinths between dawn and sunrise or at sunset until dusk, but any time of day works. You may not realize it, but there is probably a labyrinth near where you live. Today we explore…

5 Labyrinths to Visit in North/South Dakota

When researching labyrinths in the USA when I came to the Dakotas I realized I needed to combine them. Combined there are only 18 labyrinths in North and South Dakota. I have selected 5 of the best that are accessible to the public from around the states. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder.

Before we get to my recommendations for the Dakotas I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did.

All of the below answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from each state:

North Dakota Labyrinth Chart
South Dakota Labyrinth Chart

Here is how North and South Dakota compares to the USA. Because of the low number of labyrinths they rank 49th and 51st in terms of # of labyrinths (list includes Washington DC). Not many labyrinths per capita either.
