Take a virtual tour of the John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail from your computer or mobile device.

While nothing beats the experience of seeing the beauty of the Chesapeake firsthand, we’ve created 11 virtual river tours along the trail, similar to Google Street View, so that you can plan your next adventure. Take a virtual tour of some of the trail’s scenic rivers, scope out the access site you plan to use, or just soak in the beauty from your screen with the perspective of a paddler. Our hope is to bring you a virtual tour of the entire Chesapeake Trail made possible by our supporters and through partnerships. Read more about the technology deployed in this partnership with Terrain360.com. We hope that the virtual tour will inspire and help plan a real trip to these beautiful rivers of the Chesapeake.
