Lynn Canyon Park is a municipal park in North Vancouver, British Columbia, about 10 km northeast of downtown Vancouver in a straight line. It is known for a suspension bridge that crosses a deep forest canyon. The park officially opened in 1912 at about 5 hectares and now covers about 250 hectares, the largest park in North Vancouver. The suspension bridge was completed in 1911; crossing it once cost a fee, but the district later repaired it and made it free for everyone. The long Baden-Powell Trail passes through the park. An ecology centre opened in 1971 in a building shaped like a Pacific dogwood blossom, the provincial flower. The narrow bridge sways high above Lynn Creek, which runs between moss-covered boulders and clear green pools and drops in small waterfalls. Dense rainforest of tall evergreens surrounds it, along with huge stumps from old logging. Trails of different lengths and difficulty run through the park, including one to Twin Falls. Warning signs mark dangerous spots along the canyon edges, so stay on the trails and behind the fences. The bridge gets busy on summer weekends.
