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 4.8 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating 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. 😊

5 Star Rating 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!

4 Star Rating Wonderful place for a day activity. This place is very accessible to public transit if you don’t have a car. This park also do not have entrance fee to access the suspension bridge and all the hiking trails. There’s a cafe in the area, washroom and souvenir shop. The hiking trails are easy although there’s a lot of stairs. They’ve improved the trails path lately and added some wooden pathways which was really great. The main point of interest here are the suspension bridge, the 30 foot pool and the twin falls bridge. Great activity with group of friends, family and even for single travel. I did the hike alone and get safe with the environment. The trails are well marked and easy to follow and there are some benches to sit along the way in some trails.

5 Star Rating One of the most beautiful spots in North Vancouver can be found after a 100-step walk from the main street, where you enter into the wild nature. The area is well-designed and feels safe, with a lovely forest atmosphere. I have some of my best memories there. Just keep in mind to use the restroom before starting the trails, as there are many steps and some steep inclines.
