Chesapeake Map

From high-tech electronics to nature's beauty, as seen in the lone, water-loving cypress tree growing in Lake Drummond (Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge) to the right, Chesapeake is a city full of vitality. The city is consistently ranked by the FBI as being among the lowest in crime among cities of over 150,000 population. We've collected a few of Chesapeake's attractions in the list below. We can provide tours of any attraction within the city of Chesapeake, including Lake Drummond and the Great Dismal Swaup Wildlife Refuge.

The map below will lead you to some of Chesapeake's important destinations, but be sure to check our Hampton Roads tourism links for many, many more.
