Lynn Canyon Park
A free rainforest canyon park in North Vancouver, with a suspension bridge 50 meters above the canyon and a green 30-foot pool. It is the free alternative to Capilano.
Lynn Canyon Park opened in 1912. Its suspension bridge is about 50 meters above the canyon floor. It is shorter than the one at Capilano but free to cross, and it sways just as much. A rainforest trail leads to the 30 Foot Pool and the twin falls. In summer, locals swim here, but jumping from the cliffs has caused several serious accidents, so do not try it. The ecology centre offers free information about the rainforest's wildlife. From downtown, take the SeaBus to Lonsdale Quay and transfer to bus 227. The trip takes about 45 minutes. The parking lot fills up quickly on weekends.
Opening hours
Summer 7:00 AM–9:00 PM; winter until 7:00 PM
