Ten years ago, local volunteers developed The Langford Recreational Trails as a place for people to hike, bike and enjoy nature. This series of connecting trails allows people to choose a hike or a bike ride with distances ranging from one kilometre to 10 kilometres. Located 10 kilometres east of Neepawa on Highway 16, and south five kilometres on Road 81 W, it is easily accessible. A map of the trails can be obtained on the website neepawaleisure.com.
