Sure you could go to Capilano Suspension bridge... pay an arm and a leg, and get filtered into a gift shop... or you could come here, and really see some nature at your leisure, and not have to break out the wallet. More

You enter the rain forest in North Vancouver when you come to Lynn Canyon Park. Everything is lush, green, & growing. The suspension bridge is a real draw for tourists and a lot of fun to cross. If it's hot in Vancouver, then it is cooler here amongst the tall trees that shade everything. Remember to bring a sweater or... More

Visited on the busy Sunday of the long weekend in May - was well populated but such a beautiful place it was well worth the trip. A great hike through the forest to see the pools and suspension bridge, and a return to our park via the Baden Powell trail - just beautiful! PS it's where real people go to... More

There are several trails you can take and a free suspension bridge (unlike Capilano Suspension bridge). It's a slightly longer drive to Lynn Canyon from downtown than to Capilano but it's worth the few extra minutes. There are streams and waterfalls and walks through the forest. It's beautiful. More

Opted for Lynn canyon over Capilano suspension bridge and weren't disappointed. Public transport got us right to the park entrance efficiently. Unfortunately we only had 1.5 hours to explore some of the available trails but I'd definitely recommend spending a few hours walking the trails. More
