Rice Lake Regional Airport (IATA: RIE, ICAO: KRPD, FAA LID: RPD) is a city owned public use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) southwest of the central business district of Rice Lake, a city in Barron County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] The airport is situated in the village of Cameron.[2]

Opened in 1995, it was named Carl's Field for Carl Rindlisbacher, the longtime manager of Arrowhead field, one of Rice Lake's previous airports.[3]
