A park near Vancouver has a hidden swimming hole, lush forest trails and a suspension bridge
Escape the city for the day at this oasis.
Lynn Canyon Park. Right: Lynn Canyon Park North Vancouver.
This park set right outside of Vancouver feels like an escape into untamed wilderness, with lush trails, swimming holes tucked away in the forest, and a suspension bridge floating high above a rushing creek.
It's the perfect spot to leave the city behind and get away for an afternoon.
Lynn Canyon Park is set in North Vancouver and has become a popular spot, especially in the summer months when the sun comes out.
A big intrigue of park is the free Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, which hangs 50 meters above a canyon.
Throughout the park trails wind past towering trees — making you feel far away from the nearby city, surrounded by the sounds of nature.
30-Foot pool is a go-to swimming spot here, tucked away in the forest. To reach the picturesque swimming spot you'll follow the route to Pipe Bridge.
Through the forest trail you'll reach the emerald green waters here, with large rocks surrounding it. This spot feels like a little secret, set away from the rest of the world and surrounded by nature, but it can get pretty busy in the summer months.
While the water is chilly, it's perfect for cooling off on a hot day. The boulders along the shore also make a great spot to lay out and relax on after a dip.
If you need a mini getaway from the city this summer, head to Lynn Canyon.
