Cross slope is the grade that is perpendicular to the direction of the trail. Cross slope information is most useful to wheelchair users. Wheelchairs are very difficult to drive or maneuver on steep cross slopes. A cross slope of less than 3% provides maximum accessibility.
Between 1607 and 1609 Captain John Smith mapped and documented nearly 3,000 miles of the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers, now designated as the first national water trail.
