Lynn Canyon’s contribution is its marvellous suspension bridge from which visitors cast cautious glances at the water 150 feet (50 m) below, where it turns from placid emerald green to whipped-up whitewater in an instant. Despite the sturdy steel cables there’s always a slight feeling of dread, an uncertainty as to whether the footings will hold. This crossing is not for the timid, as the bridge bounces and sways. Trails follow both sides of the canyon and lead upstream to 30 Foot Pool and downstream to Twin Falls Bridge. A tall wooden staircase assists walkers and cyclists to venture north through the park from 30 Foot Pool to its borders with the Seymour Demonstration Forest. One hiking trail to follow when exploring Lynn Canyon is a section of the Baden-Powell Trail that winds through the park on its long journey across the North Shore.

To find Lynn Canyon Park, take either the Mountain Highway or Lynn Valley Road exits off the Upper Levels Hwy (Hwy 1) in North Vancouver, close to the Second Narrows Bridge. Both roads intersect near the park. From there, follow Lynn Valley Road to Peters Road, where a large sign points the way to Lynn Canyon Park. The suspension bridge, an interpretive centre, and a concession stand are next to the parking lot at the end of Peters Road.
