The waterways of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail are open 24/7, 365 days a year. However individual partner sites and access points located along the 3,000 mile trail have varying operating hours and associated fees.

Specific operating hours and directions will vary based on your destination. Be sure to check the open hours of each site before visiting as our partner locations and access sites have varying hours.
