While Cape Fair Marina may be closed for the season, Table Rock Lake is far from asleep. Winter brings a peaceful beauty to the James River arm, where the crisp air, misty mornings, and glassy water create a completely different kind of lake experience. It’s the perfect time for fishing, wildlife watching, or simply soaking in the solitude before the energy of summer returns.
Anglers know that February can be a prime month for bass fishing, with the lake’s deep, clear waters offering great opportunities for a winter catch. Eagles soar overhead, and the wooded shoreline—now bare of leaves—makes spotting deer, foxes, and other wildlife easier than ever. For those who love the lake year-round, winter provides a quiet, reflective contrast to the summer’s lively, sun-soaked fun.
But while we appreciate winter’s peaceful charm, we can’t help but look ahead. Spring is coming, and with it, warmer days, longer evenings, and the return of boating, watersports, and lakeside gatherings. Before you know it, Cape Fair Marina will be buzzing with activity again—boats hitting the water, families making memories, and the lake becoming the vibrant playground we all know and love.
So enjoy the stillness while it lasts, but get ready—spring and summer will be here before you know it, and we can’t wait to welcome you back to Cape Fair Marina!
