1. Can I take my own boat on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail?
A variety of watercraft and months of travel would be necessary to view the nearly 3000 mile route in its entirety. However, there are abundant opportunities for paddling, sailing and motorized boating along many sections of the historic route.
2. Where can I find a map of the trail?
As the trail is still being planned, an official water trail map and guide will be developed in the future; however you can download a map of John Smith's historic routes here, or e-mail us.

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.
