Otto the Big Otter

In the heart of Fergus Falls, Minnesota stands Otto the Big Otter, a unique roadside attraction that captures the town's quirky spirit. Erected in 1972 by local high school students to commemorate the town's centennial celebration, Otto is a 40-foot long structure crafted from concrete-covered metal. Visitors are drawn to Otto's whimsical pose, as if he's on the lookout for a giant fur trapper amidst the serene Adams Park.

As you approach Otto, you'll notice the distinct sound of ringing metal when tapped, adding an interactive element to this larger-than-life otter sculpture. While admiring Otto's craftsmanship, a sign humorously cautions visitors to steer clear with a warning: "Stay off the otter. Not responsible for accidents." This offbeat landmark is a must-see for travelers seeking a delightful detour in Fergus Falls.
