Lynn Headwaters Regional Park

Lynn Valley Loop Trail

Overview

The Lynn Loop Trail is situated in Lynn Headwaters Park in North Vancouver. It is an estimated 1.5-hour trail, 5.2km ^[1] lynn valley life) walk that guides hikers through the forest and then back down along the beautiful, swift waters of Lynn Creek. This is comparable to a slightly vigorous leisurely walk in which you are also able to enjoy the fresh water, mountains and forest of North Vancouver.

Access

First, to access the Lynn Headwaters Park entrance, you will walk or drive your vehicle to the end of Lynn Valley Road. From the parking lot and walking towards the information board you will find that trail conditions will be posted alongside a map of the trails (along with descriptions). Picnic tables are also in close proximity should you feel the need to have a snack before you reach the bridge and begin your trail. As you walk over the bridge and past the rushing water of Lynn Creek with Mount Fromme in the backdrop, to your left there will be wooden fence where the Lynn Loop trail begins. This path parallels the Lynn Creek waters for roughly two kilometers, transitions deeper into the forest where a brief steeper part of the loop trail is met. Continuing the trail, the incline returns to normal and you will have returned to the bridge area.

Car

Lynn Loop is one of many trails located in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in North Vancouver. To access the trail, take highway #1 to the Lynn Valley exit and then keep on Lynn Valley Road northbound.
