CAPE FAIR

Recreation
Whether on water or land, Cape Fair Campground offers visitors countless recreational activities. But above all, this is a fisherman's favorite--Its location on the upper James River Arm affords visitors the opportunity to be near some of the best fishing action on Table Rock Lake. With plenty of campsites located right near the water's edge, visitors don't even have to leave the campground to find excellent fishing along the campground's spacious shoreline. For visitors looking to get out on the water, the Cape Fair Boat Dock and Marina can service all of your boating needs, including fuel, storage and equipment rentals. Popular activities include water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing on the bright blue waters of Table Rock Lake. A large swimming beach is located on the left side of the campground, within walking distance of a picnic area. Visitors can make a day of picnicking by the water, soaking up the sun and cooling off in the lake. Table Rock Lakeshore Trail, about 2 miles long, runs from the Dewey Short Visitor Center to the Table Rock State Park Marina. During the spring hikers will see dogwood, serviceberry and redbud trees in bloom as well as many wildflower species. During the autumn months, visitors are treated to nature's colorful fall foliage. The trail also offers beautiful views of Table Rock Lake. Other hiking and mountain biking opportunities are available at the Mark Twain National Forest, parts of which are easily accessible from the campground. Click here for more information.
