Lynn Canyon Park officially opened to the public in 1912 and has been a popular destination among tourists and the local residents of Lynn Valley ever since.

Lynn Canyon Park has grown from 12 acres in its early years to 617 acres today. The park is made famous by the age of its trees, most of them are approximately 80 to 100 years old. This amazing park offers a selection of walking and hiking trails that connect to other parks in the region, such as Lynn Headwaters, Rice Lake, and Inter River Park.

Lynn Canyon Park is located East of North Vancouver in Lynn Valley and is open daily all year. Don’t forget — during the winter, dusk falls very early. Use extreme caution and allow plenty of time, because it’s very important to return to the park entrance before dark.

One of the most beautiful places in this park is the Lynn Valley Pipe Bridge. The pipe bridge is one of the entrances to the park and Rice Lake. You will find the pipe bridge at the end of a dirt road that turns off the top of Lynn Valley Road. This bridge was built over a pipe that crosses the canyon.

You can stop there for a while and enjoy some fabulous views of the canyon, because the other bridge — a suspension bridge — will require a lot more courage.

The Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is one of Lynn Valley’s most beloved attractions. The 50 meter bridge stretches across a beautiful canyon, boasting raging waters, waterfalls, and deep pools below. It's a really exciting experience, because this bridge bounces up and down and sways from side to side with every step.

Baden Powell Trail is one of the most well known trails in North Vancouver. It crosses the entire North Shore mountain range and links several parks together along the way. These include Capilano River Park, Grouse Mountain Park, the Power Line Trails, Lynn Canyon Park, and Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. The trail is very well marked and well kept, as many hikers frequent the region.

This tranquil, crystal-clear pond is called the 30 Foot Pool. It is en route to the Pipe Bridge, which crosses the canyon and leads to the top of Lynn Valley Road.
