The Chesapeake Bay spans 200 miles, stretching from Havre de Grace, Maryland, to Virginia Beach, Virginia. Though its watershed spans into six states and Washington D.C., most of the Bay falls within the State of Maryland. All 23 Maryland counties – and Baltimore – fall within the watershed and provide ample opportunities for both on the land and on the water experiences.
If you want to spend the day kayaking on a local river, hiking a mountain, or discovering Maryland’s rich maritime and cultural history, there’s a park for you! To discover your local parks, museums, and experiences, please search through the listed places below.
