Hike Lynn Canyon; on the road to good health

I love Vancouver for its numerous hiking trails everywhere that are so beautiful and so accessible. One of my favorite trails on the North Shore is the Lynn Canyon route. You can enjoy the thrill of crossing the Lynn Canyon suspension bridge (free and great views) and feel your “wild side”. Take the left trail after the bridge and head down the steps and rocky trail towards the popular Emerald Pools (also called 30-Foot pool). You are there in minutes; this is a favorite for both tourists and locals. It is a very large area with great spots for a picnic and it features a beautiful swimming hole. But take care here; the water is very cold and there is an undertow that can be fast and dangerous.

A very large stairway leads you up to the Pipe Bridge and onward towards Seymour Demonstration Forest and Rice Lake. The trail circles around the lake and has several different viewpoints of the lake and the surrounding wilderness; a great place to hang out and have a snack. Fishing is quite popular here as the lake is stocked with trout every year. It’s a welcome place to connect with nature and get a workout. The whole circuit should take you about 2 hours and is rated as easy.
