The '''Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail''' is a series of water routes in the [[United States]] extending approximately {{convert|3000|mi|km}} along the [[Chesapeake Bay]], the nation's largest [[estuary]], and its tributaries in [[Virginia]], [[Maryland]], [[Delaware]], and in the [[District of Columbia]]. The historic routes trace the 1607–1609 voyages of [[John Smith of Jamestown|Captain John Smith]] to chart the land and waterways of the Chesapeake. Along with the [[Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail]], it is one of two [[water trail]]s designated as [[National Historic Trail]]s.

Four connecting trails designated in 2012 extend the trail up the [[Susquehanna River]], [[Chester River]], Upper [[Nanticoke River]], and Upper [[James River]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-05-16|title=AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS: Secretary Salazar Expands Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail|url=https://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/AMERICAS-GREAT-OUTDOORS-Secretary-Salazar-Designates-Captain-John-Smith-Chesapeake-National-Historic-Trail|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-12|publisher=Department of the Interior|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150928201912/https://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/AMERICAS-GREAT-OUTDOORS-Secretary-Salazar-Designates-Captain-John-Smith-Chesapeake-National-Historic-Trail |archive-date=2015-09-28 }}</ref>

The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail was established on December 19, 2006, by {{USPL|109|418}} after a year of feasibility studies undertaken by the [[National Park Service]] and authorized by the [[United States Congress]]. Pressure to create the trail came from bipartisan legislation initially introduced in the [[United States Senate|Senate]] in August 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.friendsofthejohnsmithtrail.org/legislation.html |title=Legislation: How a Dream Became a Reality |publisher=Friends of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail |access-date=December 16, 2007}}</ref> This suggestion rapidly gained support and was approved by the Subcommittee on National Parks in May 2006. The Senate Subcommittee's approval provoked a House companion bill, sponsored by Representative [[Jo Ann Davis]] and co-sponsored by 27 representatives,  which was finally passed by the House on December 6, 2006, and by the Senate two days later. [[George W. Bush|President George W. Bush]] signed the bill into law on December 19, 2006.<ref>{{USBill|109|HR|5466}}</ref>

The bay-area water trail is part of the [[National Trails System]] and is administered by the National Park Service, in coordination with the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network and the federal-state [[Chesapeake Bay Program]].
