Chesapeake Bay Watershed Public Access Plan

The Chesapeake Bay and its major rivers are essential to the region's ecological and cultural heritage, yet access to these waters is limited, impacting residents' quality of life. Responding to this need, the Chesapeake Watershed Public Access Plan aims to add 300 new public access sites by 2025, guided by the Strategy for Protecting and Restoring the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, and developed through a collaborative effort led by the National Park Service and watershed states.
