There are many airports in Kentucky. However, not all Kentucky airports have regularly scheduled flights. We do not list the smallest airports, since there is no way to provide you flights from those airports.
The Commonwealth of Kentucky is a U.S. state located in the Southern United States, although it is sometimes included, geographically, in the Midwest. In 1792, it became the fifteenth state to join the union. Kentucky is known as the "Bluegrass State", a nickname based on the fact that bluegrass is present in much of the lawns and pastures throughout the state. Kentucky is well known for thoroughbred horses, horse racing, local bourbon whisky distilleries, bluegrass music and college basketball.
The Commonwealth's northern border is formed by the Ohio River, and the western border is formed by the Mississippi River. Kentucky can be divided into five primary regions: the Cumberland Mountains and Cumberland Plateau in the southeast, the north-central Bluegrass region, the south-central and western Pennyroyal Plateau, also sometimes termed "Pennyrile" with cities such as Elizabethtown and Bowling Green, the western coal-fields area, and the far-west Jackson Purchase.
The Bluegrass region is commonly divided into two regions, the Inner Bluegrass—the encircling 90 miles (145 km) around Lexington—and the Outer Bluegrass, the region that contains most of the Northern portion of the state, above the Knobs. Much of the outer Bluegrass is in the Eden Shale Hills area, made up of short, steep, and very narrow hills.
Some locations worthy of visit are the Cumberland Gap, chief passageway through the Appalachian Mountains in early American history; Cumberland Falls State Park, where a "moon-bow", the only such phenomenon in the Western Hemisphere, may be seen in the mists of the falls; Mammoth Cave National Park, featuring tours of the world's longest cave; and Red River Gorge Geological Area, part of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail also passes through Kentucky. Bad Branch Falls State Nature Preserve on southern slope of Pine Mountain in Letcher County includes one of the largest concentrations of rare and endangered species in the state, as well as a 60-foot waterfall and a Kentucky Wild River.
