Hazard offers small-town ease with big-sky views, where neighbors know each other by name and the pace makes room for front-porch conversations. Set amid fertile farmland in Sherman County, the village places you close to everyday essentials in Loup City and the broader shopping, healthcare, and job market of Kearney, all while keeping that peaceful, rural feel.
Families appreciate the practical school options. Students commonly attend Ravenna Public Schools in nearby Ravenna or Loup City Public Schools, both known for tight-knit classrooms, spirited activities, and strong FFA and athletics. Regional support from Educational Service Unit 10 expands services in technology, special education, and professional learning. For higher education, the University of Nebraska at Kearney offers undergraduate and graduate programs, continuing education, and cultural events within an easy drive.
Outdoor time is easy to come by. The Sherman Reservoir State Recreation Area draws anglers for walleye and crappie, boaters for open water, and birders along seasonal migration routes. Weekend road trips are simple, and flights via the Central Nebraska Regional Airport make regional travel convenient.
