Norfolk is known for the go Big Red Trail the Carson Trail and the Husker Trail. throughout the trail, there are lots of campsites and other opportunities to buy food and enjoy the surroundings with family and friends.

Norfolk is known for its restaurants, little shops, and coffee joints that provide opportunities for individuals to enjoy this small town but have all the conveniences of larger metropolitan cities.
