The John Smith Trail

The Capt. John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail offers a chance to explore the bay, just as Capt. Smith and his adventurers did. The Friends of the John Smith Chesapeake trail are here to help. Join us! We support the trail's development, celebrate history, increase access to the trail and bay, and conserve the special landscapes that evoke Smith's time.
