Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway

The Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway is a National Scenic Byway on Maryland's Eastern Shore region. The byway runs from Stevensville, near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Chesapeake City and has a spur to Eastern Neck Island in the Chester River. The main route runs mostly along Maryland Routes 18 and 213 and the spur runs mostly along Maryland Routes 20 and 445. The byway runs past many towns and buildings that remain preserved from the 18th and 19th centuries.
