Welcome to the Prairie Labyrinth Gallery






This is a left-handed, Seven Circuit Classical labyrinth oriented with the mouth facing South. Many of the aerial shots were taken in spring with "green-up" occurring on the paths showing a contrast to the dead winter grasses.

The labyrinth was created with dowsing instruments, clothesline, construction flags and a riding mower.




Overview including house






L-rods were used to locate the labyrinth's center and to establish the14 ft. diameter of the goal area. Dowsing determined that the walls, represented by prairie grass, would be twice as wide as the paths. Construction flags were used as markers to indicate where to cut.

Overhead from the North facing South - 4 benches are in the center.









The pattern was laid out and cut with a riding mower on March 23, 1995 just after the Spring Equinox by
Toby Evans and Mary K Barge.
There is a water dome beneath the goal area with 5 veins.
The diameter is 166 ft.



The Prairie Labyrinth differs from other labyrinths because of the wide sections of grass used as the "wall" area. This is a living labyrinth so depending on the season, the entire formation changes in appearance.

Taken in Autumn. Grass is 6-8ft. tall.















The growing season takes off in early June as the faster growing Big Blue stem has a jumpstart over the Indian and Switch grasses.

Ground view (early summer)








By the end of September, the grasses reach their full height (6-8ft) creating a tunnel effect of golden waves enveloping each person in a sensory experience of smells, sounds and sights.


View from 3 paths.












By late autumn into early winter the grasses begin dying and need to be cleared from the paths trimming back the falling bunches.






Grass falling into the path.






Another part of the maintanence is burning the prairie every 2- 3 years to clear out the old accumulated dead grasses and weeds. This is done in the spring. It also acts as a catalyst to jump start the new seeds growth.

Burning prairie grass.







A controlled ring-head burn is planned with two ignition and containment teams moving in opposite directions around the circumference of the land. The fire is directed to burn toward the center allowing the labyrinth to be the last area to burn.

This is the only time you can see the entire unicursal design with all the paths exposed just as you would experience on most labyrinths
