In the holotype of ''C. casuarius'', the sides and tail are covered in scales of several types. Polygonal tuberculate scales, covered in small bumps, vary in size across the body. Conical limpet-like scales are only preserved on a fold of skin preserved on the back of the tibia, but this was probably from the bottom of the belly instead of the leg.<ref name="brown1914p563"/> Separating the polygonal scales of ''C. casuarius'' are shieldlike scales, arranged close together in rows.<ref name="bell2013">{{Cite journal | last1 = Bell | first1 = P.

On no vertebrae do the tendons extend below the transverse processes.

Aside from those found on ''Corythosaurus casuarius'', extensive skin impressions have been found on ''Edmontosaurus annectens'' and notable integument has also been found on ''[[Brachylophosaurus canadensis]]'', ''[[Gryposaurus notabilis]]'', ''[[Parasaurolophus walkeri]]'', ''[[Lambeosaurus magnicristatus]]'', ''L. lambei'', ''Saurolophus angustirsotris'', and on unidentified ornithopods. Of these, ''L. lambei'', ''C. casuarius'', ''G. notabilis'', ''P. walkeri'', and ''S. angustirsotris'' have preserved polygonal scales. The scales on ''L. lambei'', ''S. angustirostris'', and ''C. casuarius'' are all similar. ''Corythosaurus'' is one of very few hadrosaurids which have preserved skin impressions on the hind limbs and feet. A study in 2013 showed that, amongst hadrosaurids, ''[[Saurolophus angustirostris]]'' preserved the best and most complete foot and limb integument, although other species like ''[[Saurolophus osborni|S. osborni]]'', ''[[Edmontosaurus annectens]]'', and ''Lambeosaurus lambei'' (= ''L. clavinitialis'') share a fair amount of preserved tissue on those regions.<ref name="bell2013"/>

It was once thought that this dinosaur lived mostly in the water, due to the appearance of webbed hands and feet.<ref name="brown1916p712"/> However, it was later discovered that the so-called "webs" were in fact deflated padding, much like that found on many modern mammals.<ref name="benson2012"/><ref name="Schmitz2011"/>
