Confirmed from Corbett's Glen Nature Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Trails run by meadows, wetlands & waterfalls in this secluded park full of native birds & wildlife.
What runners say about Corbett's Glen Nature Park
“This is such a beautiful little park with 2 small waterfalls, well-kept trails, and tons of wildlife.”
“Super nice trail, such beautiful nature to see and there is a waterfall not even a mile down the trail.”
“Trails are clean and well marked.”
“Overall a very peaceful and great place to check out!”
A great scenic area, not too far from the city of Rochester. Corbett's Glen has a few trails to explore, but I usually stick to the main pathway with the waterfall area and the tunnel. Parking can be a bit challenging, due to very limited spots and an increased interest in the park in the last decade.
This is such a beautiful little park with 2 small waterfalls, well-kept trails, and tons of wildlife. Most of the trails are easily navigable, even for someone with mobility issues like myself. However, the trails are not stroller or wheelchair friendly.
Wow! I just love this park. While parking is a bit of a struggle, it is worth the bother. Enjoy the falls, nice walk along the creek, find sings for trails and enjoy the nature. Some trails connect to others and take you for a longer walk... just make sure you allow enough day light for a walk.
I lived in the Rochester area for 30 years and never knew that this trail existed. My father told me about it- we took my 8 year old and two dogs. It was a great trail. Not too intense- just pleasent.
