A Boater’s Guide to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail is a
joint project of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, the Chesapeake
Conservancy, and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. As the first guide to America’s first
national water trail, this publication introduces paddlers and boaters to the best places
to access the trail. Author John Page Williams expertly weaves practical information
for today’s boaters with the historical context of the Chesapeake’s waters explored by
Captain John Smith four centuries ago.
