Town of Brighton: Corbett's Glen Nature Park

Postcard Falls is a low, wide limestone cascade, about 6 to 8 feet high, on Allen Creek in Corbett's Glen Nature Park, a Town of Brighton park. From the Glen Road parking, walk down the road and through the historic railroad tunnel; a small falls drops on the far side. Follow the creek downstream to the park sign and wooden stairs, then take the Perimeter Trail. Shortly along, the fence opens and a side path on the right leads to a seating area overlooking Postcard Falls. Trees partly block the view. Return the same way or continue around the Perimeter Trail loop.
