Airport Information
Lake Cumberland Regional Pilot Reviews:
Matthew D.
September 17, 2025Good airport and very fine FBO. Line personnel are awesome and always act with a sense of urgency. Flying over Lake Cumberland is an added benefit on the way in/out.
Pike K.
August 27, 2025Had a group lunch flyout to Lake Cumberland Regional Airport. Staff was super helpful with crew car and fuel. Cumberland Grille, just 2+ miles south of the field with good eats and outdoor seating overlooking the water.
Sarah D.
November 30, 2022Stopped here after hours due to weather. Called the airport manager and she was nice enough to send someone out to unlock the building for me; talk about southern hospitality!
