Chesapeake Bay
With more than 4.000 miles of shoreline, the Chesapeake is America's largest inland estuary. A century ago, this was by far the nation's best-lit waterway. The earlier lighthouses were conical stone structures, but the vicious shoals of the bay required screw-pile construction which engineers developed by the 1850's.

From sandy beaches to back country trails, from grand vistas of Great Salt Lake to micro views of wildflowers, Antelope Island State Park is rich in scenic beauty. The four wildflowers seen here are: Sego Lily, Sunflower, Mullein, and in the backgruond, Utah Milkvetch.
