Latera is surrounded by a lot of woods and fields. Excursions in the territory is a good and pleasant experience, both for trekking and bike. Local people enjoy sometimes bike excursions to Lake Mezzano, situated in Valentano's territory but very close to Latera border the lake is closer to Latera's town than Valentano's one.

Latera's greatest public park, I Castagneti "Chestnut groves", is located on the top of the town: it's a part of a chestnut wood transformed in a recreational area. In Castagneti you'll find tennis, basketball, volleyball and futsal fields. The park is almost crowded by younger popolation of Latera in summer days. In the evening they are open but almost empty because they are not lightened. The other public park is in Latera's entrance.
In autumn, if weather permits it, Latera is a very good place for mushrooms fanatics. Consider that to look for mushrooms you'll need a permission granted by the authority and to use particoular chests and behaviours: if Guardia forestale a public police authority for the protection of the wild and woods in Italy officers meet you without these requirements, they'll impound your mushrooms and sanction you with a huge fine.
Lake Bolsena, not in Latera's territory but very close to the town, is easily reachable by car, bike and, evenctually, even by foot: car is the better option.
