Maryland, Delaware, and in the District of Columbia,'' tracing the 
1607-1609 voyages of Captain John Smith to chart the land and waterways 
of the Chesapeake Bay. In 2012, the trail was extended to include four 
river segments closely associated with Captain John Smith's exploration 
of the Chesapeake Bay, including the north and west branches of the 
Susquehanna River.
