 Too late, the park is closed by Amareyui This might not really be off the beaten path, but this is definitely a better alternative than Capilano Suspension Bridge. First, it is free. Second, you don't have to fight through all the other tourists just to cross the bridge. Third, the scenery is awesome. Forth, good trails for hikes. Fifth, easy to access. Ride the seabus from Waterfront in Downtown, then there are buses straight to Lynn Canyon. Leave a Comment

 The Lynn Canyon pool by rmdw If you can find the courage to cross the suspension bridge, then be sure to walk down the path (about 10 minutes) to the stunning blue-green pool being fed by a somewhat hidden waterfall. You won't be disappointed! Leave a Comment

 Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge by rmdw Many people who come to Vancouver want to walk across the Capilano Suspension Bridge. While there's nothing wrong with that, it is rather expensive and quite touristy. Not too far away is a free suspension bridge across Lynn Canyon. It is not quite as long as the one at Capilano but it is equally thrilling to walk across. And the nature park on the other side is beautiful. Be sure to walk down to the deep pools of water; they're absolutely spectacular. You can either drive up to Lynn Canyon or take a 30-minute bus ride on Bus #229 from Lonsdale Quay (the North Van Seabus terminal). Leave a Comment

 View from Lynn Peak by Jyrki For a fantastic view of Vancouver and a great workout head to the Lynn Headwaters Park in North Vancouver. The hike took us around 3 hours return including rest/water stops and a side trip to the actual summit of Lynn Mountain. The hike is steep at the beginning then flat for awhile and after the initial rocky sections is quite a pleasant hike. View points along the way give you a chance to rest and scope out Seymour mountain and a bit of downtown. Be watchful of the signs as you near the peak (there are elevation markers) so you dont miss the scenic Lynn "Peak" around the path up to the peak you will see a pink ribbon on a tree that says "Lynn Summit 15 minutes" unless you are a true summit seeker and have to reach the top this trip is not worth the 20-30 minute round trip. Upon arrival you will discover an orange ribbon around a tree that says "Actual Lynn Summit...or close enough" there is absolutely no view. But this is the beginning of the trail to the south needle (6.5 hours return) if you are so inclined. Stick to the "Peak" take some pictures and have a picnic on the rock. Leave a Comment

 First step toward fall by Amareyui I believe the most beautiful time to visit Lynn Canyon is in September, when the leaves are just starting to turn red. Every week the colour of the leaves changes slightly, from green, to half yellow half green, to a little red and half yellow with a little green.... Every week is different in this valley of leaves, before the winter arrives and only branches remain. Leave a Comment

 Me on the Lynn Canyon bridge by tvor Most people go to the larger Capilano suspension bridge but there's another one at Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver that might not be as high or as long but it's less busy too and the best thing is, it's free. The bridge is not as shakey in the middle as it is up and down the ends, i thought. There are lots of hiking trails through the park and an Ecology center. From downtown Vancouver take the Seabus to Lonsdale Quay, connecting with bus #229, which brings you very close to the Ecology Centre entrance. Leave a Comment

 Now this is a view...isn't it!!!A by spartan The park (located in North Vancouver) officially opened in 1912 on 12 acres of donated land fronting on Lynn Creek. The park has now expanded to 617 acres containing numerous attractions. The park offers many hiking trails varying in length and difficulty. A suspension bridge (which is just as impressive as the one over Capilano Gorge, plus it's free) hangs 20 stories above Lynn Creek, offering spectacular views of Lynn Canyon. Once cross the bridge, a short walk upstream brings you to 30 Foot Pool at the river's edge. A fifteen minute walk downstream from the bridge brings you to a wooden foot bridge which crosses the creek at Twin Falls. From the east side of the suspension bridge it's possible to hike to Seymour Demonstration Forest & Lynn Headwaters Park. Rugged terrain; observe safety signs; keep to designated trails.

Definitely one of my most favorite spots in Vancouver. Located right off of highway 1 exit at Lynn Valley Road, the entrance is on Peters Road after making a right on Lynn Valley Road. It is easily accessible via public transportation. This park is one of Vancouver's state parks jewel. Start from the Ecology Center right next to the parking lot. You can learn a lot of the rain forest, the flora and fauna, and much more from the center. You can also get a small gift from there. Then low and behold, with a couple hundred of feet of hiking you reach the suspension bridge! It requires no efforts at all. And the best part is, it's not as crowded as Capilano Suspension Bridge. Yes it's shorter than Capilano's, but it's higher at 20 stories above the creek and it's FREE! You're able to take pictures without other tourists bugging you or getting in your way. There are also plenty of hiking trails varying in difficulties. The Twin Falls is right downstream from the suspension bridge. The 30 foot pool is upstream from the suspension bridge. There are also other trails that'll lead you to other parks. This place is definitely a must see! Did I mention that it's FREE?!!!!

Instead of paying... what?... over $25 now? at Capilano Suspension Bridge, this park is free. You can take a picnic basket, hike along the river below and eat at a good spot by the river. BTW, if you are afraid of heights, well, the bridge sways... Ahhh... never mind. There's also a cliff-diving point just past the big boulder on the trail to the left of the bridge. The water is... refreshing! Take the Upper Levels Highway (Highway 1) to the Lynn Valley Road exit (exit 19). Follow Lynn Valley Road in a north-easterly direction, past the Mountain Highway intersection, and continue on Lynn Valley Road until you see the sign for the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre.

 Lynn Canyon by tvdm Many people visit Capilano with its high suspension bridge, but Lynn Valley is just as good. Moreover, entrance is free and it's less crowded (although a summer day will have the place swarming with people as well). The high Lynn Valley suspension bridge takes you to a hiking trail, or you can go down into the valley and enjoy the sight of the river flowing through the rain forest. Leave a Comment
