Best activity to enjoy in Vancouver.Written December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Stewarts Vacation996 contributionsThis free, 600 acre park offers a number of experiences: a suspension bridge, many walking trails (short or long and of varying difficulty), waterfalls, swimming holes and picnic areas. The trails through the lush forest are clear and easy to follow with the map. The river provides a tranquil spot to sit for a while on the boulders. We had our lunch here, accompanied by Douglas Fir squirrels! The area seemed popular with locals and tourists alike. Amenities included toilets, ample parking, and Lynn Canyon Cafe. It was easy to reach the park using public transport from Vancouver city.Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Todd CollierCardiff, UK122 contributionsCable car up to the top was amazing. Such a great view of Vancouver down below. It wasn't a sunny day and it was snowing once we got to the top. It was out of season so wasn't too busy. There was an ice rink. Staff were shovelling ice off the paths ready for the Peak of Christmas. The bears were hibernating. There was an incredible view past the bear den of the snowy mountains on the horizon. Probably not much to do here unless you're skiing.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WorldTravelSince199559 contributionsFantastic nature trail composed of stones and log stairs for 800m elevation over 3 kilometres. One hour is doable with no breaks if you are ok-conditioned. Sneakers are good at least if no rain. Fun fact: Canucks hockey player Daniel Sedin did this 11 times a day with average 1h/round.Written August 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- andrew kNew Tecumseth, Canada6 contributionsAmazing hiking, I didn’t make it all the way to the top as I was with my 10 year old son and the sun was setting but he had no problem with the difficulty of the hike. The views from even half way up the Mystery Lake trail are amazing. I do recommend to bring a bathing suit and towel as there is a cool lake for swimming about 30 minutes into the hike. Do take the “bear in the area” signs serious if the sign is out. We saw one on the trail as we came around a corner but it didn’t bother with us thankfully. Trail and lake was not to busy on a sunny Friday afternoon for us.Written September 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stewarts Vacation996 contributionsIt is free to enter and wander through this facility. It was interesting to see the fish ladder, both outside next to the river and from the underground viewing area. There were plenty of posters providing information about the hatchery and different salmon species. A great place to learn about Canada's native salmon, their life cycle and to observe them up close. There were toilets available. We walked up to the hatchery from the Suspension Bridge park, 20 minutes, accurately predicted by Google!Written November 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BernieCanada362 contributionsA gorgeous park with scenic views of the mountains, the Capilano River, and the Cleveland Dam. The place is ideal for a family picnic and a relaxing afternoon rest.
The trailhead is comfortable for recreational distant walking or hiking. Further down the trail is the Capilano River Hatchery and it’s amazing to watch the spawning ponds and jumping salmon.
A peaceful place to commune with nature.Written October 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Worth taking the the time out to visit lynn falls if your in downtown Vancouver , little bit of trek on multiple transport methods starting at Chinatown stadium tubes, seabus and then bus upto bottom of the entrance to lynn falls . We did the twin falls, quite a quick steep hike but worth every step , good leg workout day for sure either exceptional waterfalls ! Do it again any time .Written July 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bijay Singh M3 contributionsOne of the best garden arrangements that we have seen. Mind blowing color full garden specially the sunken garden’s second section- can’t be missed.

- MartynG_11Gig Harbor, WA551 contributionsI reached the mountain via the bus shuttle from Rupert Skytrain. Excellent connection on an old school bus. I reserved a day rental of snowshoes and trail access as well all on the same ticket. Transfer from Rupert about 50 minutes.
The trails were really beautiful, marked trail about 70% open. Also did most of Dog Mountain trail until trail was washed out over small river. Deep and falling snow however everywhere.
Loses a point for very busy catering options leaving no alternative but to go without. Chose instead to forge on after asking for a glass of water. A walk up Espresso, hot chocolate, hot tea, cake facility would not go a miss. Would do well too. Loved Mt Seymour, Skiing looked excellent too.Written December 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The hike is simple with steps to guide you through. It is free and great for friends, families, pets and even the elderly.
In the end, the view is beautiful and peaceful.Written September 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
