The Denver suburb of Brighton is located northeast of downtown on the edge of the eastern Colorado plains and along the banks of the South Platte River. Brighton combines a small-town atmosphere with rich cultural and historical roots. Home to wonderful historical tales such as the infamous tomato-throwing contest at the Adams County Fair, Brighton—and especially its main street—will reveal hints of a time past.
Today, one of Brighton’s most popular attractions is the Murray Maize Maze. This outdoor corn maze off Havana Road is designed in the shape of a bear and two wolves and features 15 acres of corn and four miles of trails. For outdoor pursuits, enthusiasts head to Brighton’s own day-use facility—Barr Lake State Park. Here visitors can partake in wildlife watching, jogging, horseback riding, biking, fishing, boating (north side of the lake), and guided programs. Home to over 300 species of birds and the Colorado Bird Observatory, Barr Lake is also a birder’s paradise. Golfers can swing clubs at Box Elder Creek Golf Course or the links-style Riverdale Golf Courses.
Restaurant options include lots of popular dining chains, plus some unique, locally owned Mexican diners.
