Beach to Bay Indian Trail

Transportation
3
Centuries ago, Indians of the Algonquin Nation, including the Assateagues, Pocomokes, Manokins, and Acquintacas, migrated seasonally between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay. The patterns established by these American Indians were later followed by the first European immigrants, with fishing, farming, and timbering as the principal activities. These patterns remain deeply imprinted on the land and can be seen in relatively undisturbed settings along the trail, continuing a tradition of travel for discovery on the Lower Eastern Shore.
