MD 213 near
Wye Mills.
The Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway is a national scenic byway on Maryland's Eastern Shore region. The byway runs from Stevensville, near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Chesapeake City and has a spur to Eastern Neck Island in the Chester River. The main route runs mostly along Maryland Routes 18 and 213, former main roads that have since been bypassed by US 50 and US 301. The spur runs along Maryland Routes 20 and 445. A state-designated extension of the national byway continues across the Bay Bridge, into Annapolis, then back onto the Eastern Shore into St. Michaels. Both the national and state-designated sections of the byway run past many towns and buildings that remain preserved from the 18th and 19th centuries.
