Headwaters Regional Park - North Vancouver
by Mom |
 Clear, rushing waters of Lynn Creek |
Activity:
This is one of the reasons so many people love living in Vancouver:
A short 20 minute trip from the city and you've left the rat race behind,
and you're relishing the solitude of hiking in rugged wilderness.
The 4,685 hectare Lynn Headwaters Regional Park is that place. The
clear rushing water of Lynn Creek, miles of trails, sub-alpine meadows,
and rugged mountain slopes are all there to take your mind off the city.
It offers trails for the novice and seasoned hiker.
For those of you that are not hikers, there are picnic tables at the park entrance from which you can enjoy the creek and scenery. Age group: All ages Expense rating: Free
Details: Located at the end of Lynn Valley Road in North Vancouver. For more information
