NPS Chesapeake Gateways convenes Chesapeake Gateways Places, including 58 national parks, 7 national heritage areas, and 5 national trails across the Chesapeake watershed, and provides them with technical and financial support as part of the Chesapeake Gateways Network.

NPS Chesapeake Gateways aims to connect with and serve a wide range of community members and visitors. Our strategic plan focuses on utilizing the variety of people, places, and stories in our region by collaborating with a network of partners to promote conservation, improve access to nature, provide environmental education, enhance outdoor recreation, and support sustainable economies.

Organizations that own or manage a site, trail, connecting route, water trail, or heritage area that helps visitors connect to the Chesapeake Bay watershed can nominate themselves to become a Chesapeake Gateways Place by clicking the image below.
