It took us a bit of time to find this place, but once we did we were glad we came here instead of Capillano. If you love nature and walking trails this is perfect. Friends had recommended this for the suspention bridge instead of paying the $30+ per person for the Capillano suspention bridge. We were glad we did. Bring... More

Lynn Canyon offers a mini Capilano experience but is free and less crowded. enjoyed the walk at the Headwaters then moved the car and went to the Canyon , had coffee and muffins then visited the suspension bridge. Good 2 hours visit on a nice day.

Numerous groomed trails, fast flowing white water, a suspension bridge - this place is a hiker's dream. If you enjoy nature, and you are up and fit for a lovely walk through some of the most beautiful wooded country you can fine anywhere, then you will enjoy a trip to Lynn Canyon. The Ecology Centre is very informative and will... More

Unlike some other attractions in the area, you can visit Lynn Canyon at no charge. Great hiking trails and tons to keep the kids entertained. Bring your own food and if the weather cooperates you're in for a wonderful day. Enjoy!

We loved this park. We loved that we could try walking across a suspension bridge at no cost, as well. The trails are well maintained and offer a very pleasant hike. We went down to the twin falls, which were beautiful, and watched kayakers try to make it up the falls.

Lynn Valley park is extremely easy to get to from downtown Vancouver via public transport or driving and it's well worth a visit. There are a number of hiking trails along the canyon and the bridge is pretty impressive (especially considering it's free compared to nearby Capilano) Take a picnic and explore!

I've spent many summers living in Vancouver and often get asked by visiting friends whether it is worth going to the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which charges a $31.95 adult admission fee. Granted, there are other activities at Capilano, such as a treetops walk and a cliffside walk. But I always suggest going to nearby Lynn Canyon Park instead. LCP is... More
