Kemmerer Municipal Airport (EMM/KEMM) is a city-owned public-use airport about three miles southwest of downtown Kemmerer, Wyoming. Situated at roughly 7,285 feet in Lincoln County, it serves general aviation, charter, and emergency flights rather than scheduled airlines. It is a practical gateway for Fossil Butte National Monument and Kemmerer's historic J.C. Penney mother store.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors check density altitude and afternoon winds before a summer departure—KEMM's high elevation can noticeably reduce climb performance, and nearby Fossil Butte is best visited early in the day.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is reached by a short drive from downtown Kemmerer via US-30 and local roads, but taxi and rideshare options are very limited. Arrange a rental car, hotel shuttle, or local pickup in advance. For commercial connections, Salt Lake City International (SLC) and Denver International (DEN) are the nearest major hubs, each a multi-hour drive away.
