Lynn Canyon Park
is a municipal park in the District of North Vancouver, British Columbia. When the park officially opened in 1912 it was only 12 acres (49,000 m2) in size, but it now encompasses 617 acres (2.50 km2). The park has many hiking trails of varying length and difficulty. The Baden-Powell Trail passes through the park crossing over the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge.
The park is a second growth forest, with the most of the oldest trees being 80-100 years old. Evidence of logging in the area can be found in the many large stumps, complete with springboard notches. Cliff jumping is popular with Lynn Valley youth in the summer. The series of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis both use the area for filming.
