    Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve

    Last year I discovered a hiking group that hikes in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR)…read moreevery Monday morning for a couple of hours. Due to my school, I was only able to go on one hike with them last year as I found the group just before the fall semester started, but this year I've gone on half a dozen hikes with them and look forward to many more. There are 65km of hiking trails in the LSCR, ranging from easy (such as the Rice Lake Loop) to challenging, for more experienced hikers. There are several intermediate trails, including a portion of the Baden Powell trail, and with all the different trails, it is a great area to explore and your hike can range from an easy one hour walk to a hike of several hours -- there's something for everyone. The LSCR is located between Lynn Headwaters Regional Park and Lynn Canyon Park, so you can combine a hike in the LSCR with a hike in Lynn Headwaters or Lynn Canyon for more variety. Another great thing about the LSCR is that it is transit accessible! You can take the #227 or #228 bus, or take the #210 bus to Lynn Headwaters and walk about ten to fifteen minutes to LSCR.

    This is the area that is on the other side of Lynn Valley Park. Had no idea this existed (or that…read moreit was technically a different park) until now. Parking is available in the nice large lot next to the water treatment centre. There are public washrooms here as well. Some of the trails here seem to be more like service roads. Very well maintained. There are plenty of bear warning signs too. Guess somebody got eaten at one point. Plenty of fellow hikers and dogs here for bears to snack on. I remember always seeing other people at some point. In other words, the place is pretty crowded during the summer months. The trails go quite a ways from here. Hikes can go from minutes to hours or days, depending on what one is looking for.

    Lighthouse Park - Trail to the lighthouse takes you through a huge old growth forest!

    The forest trails are great, we didn't make it to the lighthouse but still enjoyed this location…read morevery much. There is parking you do have to pay but it's not too bad. Walking around the massive, ancient trees provides a deep sense of peace and wonder. It is scenic and accessible for hiking in the area.

    The highlight of this park is a lovely, historic lighthouse built on a huge granite boulder - but…read moreto get to the lighthouse, you hike through a massive old-growth forest with magnificent views of Burrard Inlet and downtown Vancouver off in the distance! The original lighthouse was wooden and lit in 1875 - this current lighthouse was built in 1912 out of concrete on top of a massive granite boulder. It's still in use today although the light is now automated. You can't access the lighthouse itself - it's closed off by fencing. But there are some buildings surrounding the lighthouse with interesting info signs on the parts they played during WWII. There's also picnic tables if you need a rest or some snacks. The trail up to the lighthouse viewpoint are wide and very well maintained. The entire trail is a moderate loop just over 4 miles long with almost 450 feet elevation gain according to AllTrails. Due to time constraints, we only hiked from the parking lot to the lighthouse viewpoint- it was pretty easy and it's less than a mile to the lighthouse with just over 100 feet of elevation gain. So round trip we did less than 2 miles. There's a large parking lot at the trailhead that's pay-to-park. We paid via QR code on one of the signs easily - we had good cell signal. It was just over $10CAD for about 2 hours so very reasonable.

    Definitely worth venturing out to North Vancouver to visit this suspension bridge park! At the…read morerecommendation of our hotel concierge, we caught an easy bus ride to the park, then on the return home... we ubered to Lonsdale Quay for lunch and caught a seabus back to downtown. This was a great way to do a little of everything! As for the park itself... beautiful and clean. There is one main suspension bridge and many many other smaller ones. Being in the trees crossing all those bridges and seeing the views was absolutely worth the price of admission. They even have a small eatery in the middle of the park where you can get the best hot chocolate and otter balls. So good! My kids (13 and 15) loved this park and we spent a couple hours here!

    One of the most beautiful attractions in the Vancouver area and absolutely worth the trip to North…read moreVancouver. Most people come for the famous suspension bridge, but the entire park is impressive. Walking high above the forest canopy on the Treetops Adventure gives you a unique perspective of the rainforest, and the Cliffwalk provides some incredible views for those comfortable with heights. The bridge itself is longer and higher than it looks in photos, with just enough sway to make things exciting without being scary. Everywhere you look there are towering trees, rushing water below, and stunning Pacific Northwest scenery. Yes, admission isn't cheap, but the park is well maintained, the staff are friendly, and there is much more to do than simply walk across the bridge. Plan to spend a few hours exploring everything. A must-visit attraction if you're in Vancouver and want to experience the natural beauty that makes British Columbia so special.

    Such a cool spot to check. We visited in Mar h on a gloomy day. I must say it is self guided and…read morethere was not much going on at the time. That being said, the views are great and it is definitely educational. You can arrive by car or by foot if you hike down from the Capilano River Park

    I haven't been here in ages and was fortunate enough to visit this place again! AMAZING AMAZING…read more AMAZING This place is beautiful and fits in seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The hatchery was built to help with the declining salmon stocks, but it is still a working facility up to this day! On the visitor's side, this is an amazing place to visit, re-visit and bring kids, relatives, and friends. The hatchery is FREE and..... during the right time, preferably fall, you can see juveniles to adults. A lot of them! It is an amazing and wonderful sight to literally see the coho and chinook struggle against the current as they jump up each step to their final resting place. The surrounding water and just watching the salmon is very peaceful and relaxing......at the same time, you want to cheer for each salmon as they make it to the next step! There's benches around the place, washrooms, and a parking. There's also a trail from the Cleveland dam to the hatchery. Salmon Times: Chinook adults (October to November) Coho adults (June to November) Steelhead adults (March to April) Coho juveniles (all year) Chinook juveniles (March to May) I definitely will be back :)
