The Chesapeake Bay watershed is a vast network of rivers, streams, and creeks that drain into the Chesapeake Bay. Some of the major rivers in the watershed include the Susquehanna River, the Potomac River, and the James River. There are over 150 major rivers and streams, along with hundreds of smaller ones, that contribute to the watershed. More than 100,000 streams, creeks, and rivers thread through the area before flowing into the bay. Some other notable rivers include the Rappahannock River, the York River, and the Choptank River. The watershed covers 64,299 square miles and includes parts of six states: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia.
