The smaller suspension bridges in Lynn Canyon Park are fun free alternatives to Capilano.For a more complete review, look at reviews (mine and others) for Lynn Canyon Park! Pros: Beautiful nature, Near the City, FREECons: Traffic, Parking, Lots of People
Much quieter, free parking and cheaper! Includes some lovely walks, waterfalls and cafe. Shop also well stocked.
My partner and I stopped in at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge en route to Deep Cove. We made the mistake of going all the way to 'Lynn Headwaters' - don't miss the sign to the Suspension Bridge at Peters Road. Once we found the site of the Suspension Bridge parking was no problem (I'm not sure how this would be during peak summer). The suspension bridge was easily accessible, and you wouldn't need to walk more than 200 meters from where you park your car. I was quite surprised at the height of the bridge, we were told that it is actually higher than the Capilano Suspension bridge (just not as long). The bridge sways quite a lot and offers a great view of tumbling water falls. After enjoying the views from the bridge I HIGHLY recommend the extra 10 minute walk to the 30 foot pool (signed). We weren't sure what to expect however were greeted with a crystal clear gorgeous pool....a 30 foot feet deep pool which I'm sure would be beautiful to swim in the summer. There is a rocky outcrop which you can walk out to, to get a stunning view of the canyon...complete with another waterfall.Visiting Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge and the 30 foot pool was a great way to spend a couple hours before heading to Deep Cove to do the Quarry Rock hike.Tip: take a picnic if you wish to spend more time.
What a great place. Suspension bridge is simply fantastic. And yes it is free of charge. Located just 5 minutes’ walk from the car park. Amazing place full of great photo opportunities. A must visit place. Small visitor centre just few steps away. I can recommend it to everyone.
Our group of 13 met Dec.27th to walk the bridges and treetops. The lights were beautiful and the atmosphere was festive! We dressed warm but wished we had a rain poncho or umbrella as it started to rain but it didn't dampen our spirits!
Go see this. Just in its own or connect it to a day of hiking or enjoying the river ona hot day. You need to be a strong walker for the bridge and a strong climber to get down the stairs to the river way down below if you wish. Connects to the demonstration forest trails like rice lake etc
No tolls and access to Vancouver- I'm happy! The park is a big plus... Coming from the eastern U.S.no tolls is a big plus.
safe, scenic, but crowded in the summer, but well worth the trip. The walking/hiking trails are amazing but be prepared with good walking shoes as the terrain is rocky at times when you are off the boardwalks.
This is a free one so that is always good. Other exhibits to see there too, also excellent walking trails
We were talking with some people we met at the park while in Vancouver about the Capsilano Suspension bridge and the yrecommended that we save some of our vacation money by visiting the Lynn Canyon bridge instead because it was free. Well I can tell you that we were not disappointed in the least! The bridge is likely no where near as long and maybe not as high but it has to be every bit as beautiful. We spent some time hiking the trails surrounding the bridge and were just amazed at how scenic it all was right in the middle of the suburbs. There was a slight drizzle that day but it didn't keep others from coming out. The nature center was full of interactive exhibits that kept our Son busy after the hike. This is a place you must stop if you visit Vancouver.
