How many swamps are in the Chesapeake bay?
Your question is difficult to answer because the edges of the Bay itself and the Rivers running into the Bay all have marshy and/or swampy areas that are too numerous to count. (The official difference between the two seems to be that a swamp is a wooded wetland rather than grassy.) One of the largest swampy areas is in the Pocomoke River State Park. Others are Trap Pond and Trussum Pond in Delaware; Battle Creek Cyprus Swamp in Calvert County, MD; and the First Landing State Park in Virginia.
