Capell Cove Boat Launch, managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, is a public boat launch located on the southwestern shore of Lake Berryessa.  Popular with water-skiers and anglers, the parking lot fills early in the summer as it is the closest public boat launch for both Solano and Napa County.  There is a paved parking lot, porta-potties and picnic areas.  Note, the Cove is closed as of October 2015 due to low water levels.
