About
Lynn Canyon Park, Peters Rd (head north on Lynn Valley Rd from Hwy 1 (exit 19), turn right onto Peters Rd and follow it until it ends), ☎ +1 604 984-3149. Open daily 7AM - dusk. A great little park set on the forested slopes of Lynn Creek. The main draw is the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which is shorter, less busy but almost as high as the more noted Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge connects to hiking trails on the both sides of the creek, with a common 20-30 minute hike being a loop that crosses the suspension bridge and follows the canyon down to Twin Falls. The creek is a popular swimming spot in the summer with pools above the suspension bridge and below Twin Falls. But be careful if swimming -- the water is icy cold (it is snow melt, after all) and read the warning signs; there are deaths almost every year. Free. Lynn Valley Ecology Centre, +1 604 981-3103, [6]. The ecology center, near the suspension bridge, has a number of displays on ecology and many activities for young kids. Admission is by donation.
