Lynn Canyon Park
Lynn Canyon Park in North Vancouver features many hiking trails and an admission free suspension bridge
Lynn Canyon Park offers a rugged west coast landscape nestled into the southern slopes of the north shore mountains. Lynn Creek drops rapidly through the canyon and there are a number of pools popular for swimming. There are also many walking and hiking trails that run through the park.
After a scenic crossing on the SeaBus from Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver followed by a 20 minute bus ride and a 10 minute walk brings you to North Vancouver's Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in Lynn Canyon Park.
Popular with locals, but not as well known by tourists who usually end up at the better known and heavily promoted Capilano Suspension Bridge, this 'people only' foot bridge, built in 1912, hangs a full 50 meters above the rapids of Lynn Creek connecting the forest trail on either side. While this bridge is not as long or high above the water as the more famous Capilano Suspension Bridge, it does sway and bounce more making it very thrilling to cross. It is also completely free which is a nice bonus.
Although the bridge is old, you can be confident of its integrity as it is regularly maintained by the Municipality of North Vancouver which also operates the park.
Other activities in the park include hiking and picnicking. During the summer months there are guided nature walks also available in the park. If you get the munchies you can visit the Lynn Canyon Cafe located near the suspension bridge.

Lynn Canyon Park Reviews
Rated out of 5
I’ve visited many jungles, but this one is by far the best! The variety of plants and animals was incredible, and every moment felt like an adventure. We spotted a toucan, a giant butterfly, and even a tiny tree frog. The waterfalls were stunning, and the fresh air was revitalizing. I would come back in a heartbeat!

The bridge was truly captivating. It was my first time crossing a suspension bridge, and the experience was exhilarating. The weekend brought a large crowd, but the multiple small trails that led to various destinations made the experience manageable. A breathtaking 30-foot natural pool caught my attention, surrounded by lush greenery. The trail also featured several cascading waterfalls with a powerful water flow.

Beautiful adventure! I went on a weekday around 11am-3pm and it wasn’t busy. It was my first time exploring here and I felt safe. They were cutting some trees around the bridge so they had to close the suspension bridge for half an hour. But it open again after. I had a great time in Lynn Canyon. There’s also a cute little cafe by the entrance. The gentleman who was working there was very welcoming and kind. I had to charge my phone so there are outlets that you can plug your charger outside the cafe (by the wall).
I had a great time. 😊

Despite the rain, visiting the Lynn Suspension Bridge was an unforgettable experience! The mist added a magical touch to the already stunning scenery, making the views even more enchanting. The bridge is well-maintained, and the walkway felt secure even in wet conditions. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for soaking in nature and taking some unique photos, rain or shine. The historical information provided on-site was an added bonus. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a serene and picturesque outing!
