The Rappahannock River Water Trail is a project of the Friends of the Rappahannock, in partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network. The National Park Service's Bay Gateways program provides matching grants for projects that help enhance the public's ability to learn and enjoy the Bay's stories and significance, explore its natural and cultural resources, and become involved in Bay stewardship. Through these projects and other Gateways Network efforts more and more people recognize the Chesapeake as a true national treasure.
