Burnett County is in northwestern Wisconsin, on the border with Minnesota; Burnett County Airport is about 95 miles (153 km) northeast of Minneapolis, Minnesota by car. The rural area is known for its abundant lakes and associated recreational opportunities, as well as for its wintertime snowmobile trails.

Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this facility is assigned RZN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned RZN to Turlatovo Airport in Ryazan, Russia[4]).
