Follow in the wake of Smith's journeys on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, America's first national water trail. Experiencing the Bay first-hand, you can grasp what it may have been like for the hardy crew, seeing the Chesapeake's shorelines and tributary rivers for the first time.

There are also a number of existing water trails to explore in the Chesapeake region such as the Eastern Neck Island Water Trail (Download a copy of this trail map) that you can get out and explore now.
