The John Smith Chesapeake is the first National Historic Trail to follow a route on water. The historic routes cover approximately 3000 miles of the Bay and its tributaries, and they may be accessed from hundreds of points throughout Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
More detailed information, including maps and trail guidebooks, is available at many locations and water trails around the Chesapeake Bay. Visit www.baygateways.net for further information on many of the existing water trails that follow portions of John Smith's historic journey.

Did You Know?
Captain John Smith was stung by a ray at Stingray Point during his journey on the summer of 1608. He was stabbing them with a short sword to catch them and it was likely a cownose ray that jabbed him back. Smith suffered extreme pain, but the ray suffered worse – it ended up as his evening meal.
