If you are visiting North Vancouver on a nice day the Cleveland Dam is an interesting place to visit. You can walk along and see the dam from above and also walk down trails to view it from the side. The power of the water is quite something. The park area at the top of the dam is a perfect... More

Enjoy Capilano Canyon for free without the hanging bridge. Great walk to the top from Marina Avenue, then very nice trails back down toward the fish hatchery and beyond. The views of Mt. Seymour and Grouse Mtn from the dam are awesome.

I visit Vancouver a lot, but have always stayed in the city most of the time. This trip I had a car so I decided to do some exploring. I found the parking lot for the dam almost by accident. Decided to pull my camera out and do some exploring. The views of the dam are great, but what was... More

There are several hikes in this area that are great. You can travel below the dam both sides through the forest for a great little hike.

The Cleveland Dam Park is a great wide-open vista from which to see the Lions, Capilano Lake and the surrounding mountains (Grouse, Goat, and Dam I believe.) You must come on a clear sunny day though for the best view. Sunsets and sunrises are stunning too. As for Cleveland Dam itself, if you come mid-day, when the sun is shining... More

If you're hesitant about forking out around CAD $30 per adult to tramp around in the woods and cross a suspension bridge, you might want to consider taking the family out on a picnic at this park near Vancouver's major watershed. You won't read about this place in most guidebooks, but I was fortunate enough that a local took us... More

Beautiful park to picnic and stroll in. Water tends to really flow in the spring months. Nice views of Grouse Mountain. In the summer months, you can usually side the paragliders coming off the mountain

Another free spot in North Vancouver. Winter & Spring are the best seasons to see the Spillway. This is a great, clean park

The Cleveland Dam is in North Vancouver, just a short 25 min drive from downtown Vancouver, north over the Lions Gate Bridge and up Capilano Road. Plenty of free on site parking, for an unforgetable view of the mountains and gondola to the north and the waterfall from the dam just steps away. The water behind the dam is the... More
