Lynn Headwaters Regional Park has many trails that offer a variety in choosing shorter hikes to longer day hikes. Lynn Loop is a short trail that takes you up through the forest before looping back along the rushing water of Lynn Creek.

From the parking lot, walk past the yellow gate towards Lynn Creek and over the bridge. Take in the rushing water below with Mount Fromme towering in the backdrop before continuing towards the signboard. Check the map of the park area and familiarize yourself with where you are and where the Lynn Loop Trail is.

On this trail you will pass a sign for a lookout. This section goes uphill for 10 minutes to a small view, from the top of a big rock, of Vancouver Island and some of the San Juan and Gulf Islands. Go back down to go return to the Lynn Loop Trail.

Driving Directions

Lynn Loop is located in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in North Vancouver. To reach the start of the trail, take Highway #1 to the Lynn Valley Exit and follow Lynn Valley Road northbound. Continue past the shopping center and past the turnoff to Lynn Canyon Park. Where the road turns left, continue going straight along the narrow road to the last parking lot. If there is no parking here, backtrack about 500m to the overflow lot and walk back to the main parking lot.

Public Transit

From downtown Vancouver, take the Seabus across to North Vancouver and at the Lonsdale Quay bus loop, take bus #228 to Lynn Valley. You will want to get off of the bus near the end of the route at Dempsey and Lynn Valley Road. Let the bus driver know where you are going and they can stop at the location.

After getting off the bus, walk down the paved road into the forest towards the parking area and the start of the trail.

Note: The bus will take you as far as the hairpin turn and you will have to walk the remaining distance along the narrow road to the yellow gate. Ask the bus driver for the best bus stop to get off at.

NB* This hike is a relaxed and easy one! Also dogs and washroom friendly! :)
