Definitely worth the time if you are in the Lynn Canyon area and not anywhere as touristy (or expensive) as Capilano. We send all our out of town visitors here and they rave about it. More

My children and I went to Lynn Canyon for a walk across the suspension bridge and exploring the trails on the far side of the river. The suspension bridge was packed!
