Lynn Headwaters Regional Park

A popular spot with locals that has picnic tables on the river close to the parking lot. There are a number of trails of varying difficulty on the other side of the river. The most common are to take the trail along Lynn Creek or do the Lynn Loop, a 5 km trail that loops through the forest and back along Lynn Creek to the parking lot. There are also longer, more difficult trails that go into the mountains.

End of the Line General Store
Cafe with a good selection of sandwiches, baked goods and little bites good for a full meal or a post-hike snack. There's also a shop with clothing, local arts and crafts, imported food and other odds and ends. The shop has a bit of history — it is the site of one of the original stores in Lynn Valley and is so named because it was the "end of the line" for the streetcar.

Lynn Canyon Park
A great little park set on the forested slopes of Lynn Creek. The main draw is the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which is shorter, less busy but almost as high as the more noted Capilano Suspension Bridge. The bridge connects to hiking trails on the both sides of the creek, with a common 20-30 minute hike being a loop that crosses the suspension bridge and follows the canyon down to Twin Falls. The creek is a popular swimming spot in the summer with pools above the suspension bridge and below Twin Falls. But be careful if swimming — the water is icy cold (it is snow melt, after all) and read the warning signs; there are deaths almost every year.
