Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail

, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia

Acreage: N/A
Category: National Historic Trail
Date Established: 12/19/2006

Established in December 2006, this is the nation's first all-water trail. The trail will commemorate the exploratory voyages of Captain Smith on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries in 1607-1609. Once complete, the water trail will allow visitors to retrace Smith's voyage.   

The Trail is still in the planning stages, so there are no official water access places. But the park will make use of existing trails already created by park partners. You can explore the existing water trails by downloading the park's map.
