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

Has everything that the Capilano suspension bridge park has but better and this park is FREE! This suspension bridge is much better due to the waterfall and not overlooking houses like the capilano one does... Also this park is MASSIVE and nearly impossible to explore within a day while capilano suspension bridge can be explored within an hour.

We spent a couple hours hiking this beautiful park. The suspension bridge is fun to walk over. Great trails for the beginner hiker, and beautiful water views.
