Lynn Canyon Park
A beautiful, 250 hectare park located in North Vancouver, consisting of thickly
forested valley slopes. One of its main attractions is the Lynn Canyon
Suspension Bridge and the many nature hiking and biking trails.
 Lynn
Canyon’s contribution is its marvellous suspension bridge from which visitors
cast cautious glances at the water 150 feet (50 m) below, where it turns from
placid emerald green to whipped-up whitewater in an instant. This crossing is
not for the timid, as the bridge bounces and sways. Trails follow both sides of
the canyon and lead upstream to 30 Foot Pool and downstream to Twin Falls
Bridge. A tall wooden staircase assists walkers and cyclists to venture north
through the park from 30 Foot Pool to its borders with the Seymour Demonstration
Forest. One hiking trail to follow when exploring Lynn Canyon is a section of
the Baden-Powell Trail that winds through the park on its long journey across
the North Shore.
To find Lynn Canyon Park, take either the Mountain Highway or Lynn Valley Road
exits off the Upper Levels Hwy (Hwy 1) in North Vancouver, close to the Second
Narrows Bridge. Both roads intersect near the park. From there, follow Lynn
Valley Road to Peters Road, where a large sign points the way to Lynn Canyon
Park. The suspension bridge, an interpretive centre, and a concession stand are
next to the parking lot at the end of Peters Road.
Shopping in Lynn Valley:
At the heart of Lynn Valley is Lynn Valley Centre, which offers a large food
store, a department store, a liquor store and numerous other small boutiques,
banks and other services. The Centre and the surrounding neighbourhood is
currently going through a re-birth and redevelopment, including the moving of
the current library to a new site.
The Black Bear Pub was added a few years ago and is worth the visit for both the
architecture and the atmosphere.
Not far to the south, is the Park and Tilford Shopping Centre - at the foot of
Mountain Highway, at Brooksbank & Keith Road.
A few minutes drive to the west on Keith, takes you to Lonsdale Ave, a broad
commercial avenue running north-south through North Vancouver and offering a
multitude of shopping and entertainment.
