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. 

When participating in activities on the trails, it is important to wear shoes and socks and carry water if going on a longer hike.

From Thursday, Aug. 18 to Tuesday, Aug. 23, there are activities planned to celebrate the trail’s 10 years running. During that time, there will be a self-guided interpretive hike for people to come and enjoy the trails at their own leisure.

On the Thursday, starting any time between 9:30-11:00 am, 1:30-3:30 pm or 6:00-7:00 pm, there is a Bicycle Mystery Tour. A three kilometre route or 10 kilometre route are available.

On Friday and Saturday, there will be children’s activities. Friday at 6:30 will offer a five kilometre hike with a leader, while on Saturday, children’s activities will be going on from 9:30 to 11:00 am.

There is no charge for activities, but donations to the trail upkeep are gratefully accepted.
