About Renting a Car at West Paducah Regional Aiport Airport

Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) in West Paducah serves southwestern Kentucky and adjacent parts of Illinois and Missouri, with 1 car rental company on site. The airport is approximately 15 km northwest of Paducah downtown and is the gateway to the Land Between the Lakes region. From PAH, you can reach Paducah downtown in 20 minutes via US-60 east.

Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area begins approximately 60 km east and offers 170,000 hectares of nature. The Illinois border at Ohio River is reached in just 10 minutes' drive north.
