Underwood rewards everyday living with open skies, friendly streets, and easy access to big-water adventure. Set in McLean County, the city is a short drive from the Missouri River system and the sweeping reservoirs of Lake Sakakawea and Lake Audubon, where anglers, paddlers, and birders find exceptional habitat at the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge. Weekends often mean boat launches, prairie sunsets, and quiet trail time—plus nearby state gems like Cross Ranch State Park.
Families appreciate the one-campus convenience of the Underwood Public School District, known for small class sizes, close-knit activities, and programs that keep students connected to both college and career pathways.
