Lynn Canyon is known for its suspension bridge and forested trails, but you can still have fun on a rainy day by visiting the Ecology Centre. Built in the shape of British Columbia's provincial flower, the dogwood, the Centre contains exhibits about the plants, people and animals that make up the unique rainforest outside the Centre's walls. Admission is by donation.
How could you not take advantage of a rainforest right in your backyard? With several hiking trails, swimming holes, picturesque waterfalls and an impressive 50-metre high suspension bridge, Lynn Canyon Park in North Vancouver is a popular (and free!) day-out destination for Vancouver locals and tourists alike. Whether you’re planning an afternoon of trout fishing, organizing a scenic family picnic or simply looking to work up a sweat on a moderate hike, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And there’s nothing quite like cooling off on a hot day by taking a refreshing dip in the chilly 30-foot pool.
