Capon Lake is situated between Yellow Spring and Intermont at the junction of West Virginia Route 259 and Capon Springs Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 16) along the Cacapon River. Capon Springs Run empties into the Cacapon here across from the old Whipple Truss bridge. Capon Lake takes its name from the Cacapon River's lake-like characteristics there.
