Upper Chesapeake Bay

A large part of the Chesapeake Bay is located in Maryland and has wonderful waterways and land areas around the Bay. Check out my term project to find out more information about the bay and what it all has to offer to the region.

The Chesapeake Bay goes for about 200 miles, with the Susquehanna River making up the northern part of the waterways, and ending in the Atlantic Ocean.  It includes shoreline of 11,684 miles (that’s a lot!). Most of the waterways are rather flat, and the average  water depth is only 21 feet.
