I went to Capilano Suspension Bridge twice and this was always been on my list to visit since they’re close to each other— I definitely recommend Lynn Canyon more. No entrance fee, plenty of parking, trails are easy (very kid-friendly), and plenty of options depending on how long you want to hike. There are also plenty of picnic tables at the entrance as well porta potties. The washrooms at the ca...

This was a great spot to experience Vancouver’s natural beauty. The suspension bridge may be smaller than some of the other bridges, but the fact that it’s free more than makes up for it. The park is beautifully maintained, there was no wait time, and it wasn’t crowded at all. We spent about an hour walking the trails and could’ve easily stayed longer if we hadn’t been short on time.

Stunning. Breathtaking. The suspension bridge is very close to the parking lot so even with a sprained ankle it was no problem getting there.

If you are looking for a quiet retreat in nature I suggest going early morning...

What and amazing place to visit. The suspension bridge and specially the 30 foot pool, don't miss it. Make sure you put your feet in the clear water. Also Wear water-friendly sandal with excellent traction, a secure fit. Parking is a bit difficult to get. Paid parking also free parking after 5 or maybe 6 pm

A wonderful place for an incredible forest walk and enjoying nature. Many forest paths of varying difficulty. Stairs, suspension bridges, recreation areas. Mountain river and small waterfalls. If you wish, you can walk a little along the mountain slopes, overcoming obstacles from boulders and forest roots.) You can also swim in beautiful small mountain reservoirs with spring water. I definitely re...

When is the best time to visit Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge (Vancouver, Canada)?

Summer offers ranger-led walks (July–August). Trails get slippery in spring—bring extra traction. Swimming at 30-Foot Pool is safe only on warm days.
