Corbett's Glen Nature Park — Attraction in Town of Brighton

So, I have a special place in my heart for the Glen; it's where I caught my first trout on a fly. As an avid fly fisher, I think this is one of the greatest spots in the are to fish. I have fished the park now for a few years and have fished the stretch of Allen creek from Penfield to the park and it is a great stretch of water offering some really exciting fishing. That being said, I'm dissapointed with what the town has done with the park. She I first started going there, it was like stepping back in time and into a landscape painting with the sound of the passing freight train echoing in the distance, or right over your head; depending on where you were in the park. Now the fences are up, and I was just there a few days ago and they have added more fences and blocked more stream side access. And, this doesn't just affect the fishermen, I know many photographers who are upset about losing access to the prime spots to take a few pics of the waterfalls which are really spectacular in the right light. We love the Glen, it was our first hiking spot for our kids, all 5 of them have enjoyed the loop as well as wading and fishing in the pools beneath the falls. I will give the park itself 4 out of five, it can get very crowded and there is minimal parking, but I gave a rating of 3 due to the fact that they just keep adding fences. I know it is a conservative effort, but places like this were intended...

What a well kept secret near Rochester. Really beautiful running steam winding through the glen . A rail fence attempts to keep folks out of the water, but is easy to climb through or go around as many did on a hot July day. There's a decent walking trail, albeit a couple of sections were lacking mulch leaving the plastic weed barrier exposed. That might be a little slick on a wet day. The trail was easy to accomplish. It weaved through a wooded area, a meadow and a bog. Lots of birds to see and here. It is located in a neighborhood so respect the residents. On street parking is available on both sides of the road within posted signs,there is no parking.Locals say that towing is enforced. There is a posted handicap parking space. You'll need to go down the road under the bridge to the end, there's maybe two spots that are not paved. It was...

Interesting little park. Easy to hike and mostly flat with a few up and downs most with some semblance of stairs for these. Fun to train spot if you're into that and scenic stream that runs through a portion of the park including a few small waterfalls including the nicest one at the Old tunnel entrance to Park where you can't really park anymore. You can technically only enter off of Penfield Road. Parking lot is somewhat small and can get crowded. Overall, it's an okay easy to walk/"hike" park though a bit boring if you like to hike areas where you feel like you've gotten away from civilization for awhile. This park doesn't offer this as you're often reminded that you're in an extended backyard environment with a busy raised railroad right of way running through it along with the sound of busy expressways not too far...
