  • I took my young kids and warned them ahead of time that suspension bridges can be a little scary and they don't have to do it if they don't want... But we were all in for a pleasant surprise when we arrived at the Lynn Canyon Suspension bridge! It was incredibly well built and sturdy. It didn't wobble as much as other suspension bridges I've been on. I felt very safe having my children on there. As for the view - WOW! Spectacular. And definitely high enough to give you butterflies when you look down. I recommend solid hiking shoes... A lot of rocks and roots on the paths. At the thirty foot pool, there were a lot of people swimming... If that interests you then dress appropriately! Be aware - signs are all over the park warning visitors of the dangers of cliff jumping. There have been many injuries and some fatalities (shown in a graphic at the beginning of the trail.) If I ever visit the area again, I will definitely plan to go back! Highly recommend
  • Love it 😍 love it , as always great place to do light hikes ( under an hour) or hard core hikes and swim (0ver 4 hours). Breath taking deep woods/ trees 🌲 and scenery, typical of BC. Nice public facilities and lately a good coffee shop added. A must visit if you are in Vancouver , in summer or even in winter. Pick your hike carefully, specially if you have non-hikers or older parents with you, to avoid over stretching one’s capabilities, as walk to gorge could be steep up or down. Ample parking ( paid) or you can always park near by on street with in a few minute walk. Enjoy the nature at its best
  • Lynn Canyon is great! It's way less busy than Capilano Suspension Bridge and it's free! The view is fantastic and the moderate intensity hikes through the forest were serene. Parking did cost a small amount per hour. Would definitely recommend this place if you want a more intimate time in nature.
  • A great place for hike. Suspension bridge is nice, super accessible and right in the beginning of trails. In the hot summer, don’t miss out on the 30 foot pool. The water is emerald green and cool. Definitely saw lot of people jumping into the pool. We did the hikes for twin falls as well. The hikes are doable but there are insane amount of stairs which is no fun. But definitely for barely a drive from downtown its a really cool hike
  • This place is absolutely fabulous! Beautiful scenery. We went on week day and it wasn’t busy. The trails were a bit muddy so bring the right shoes. If you do the loop be prepared for a lot of stairs. There were more trails to explore that I need to plan time for next. The visitor center (has a different name) was really great and had a lot of interesting information as well.
