Let’s face it, when it comes to scenic swimming spots and suspension bridges – North Vancouver pretty much takes the cake. Luckily for Vancouverites, the gorgeous Twin Falls at Lynn Canyon is very accessible and a great spot to cool off during the hottest months of the year. As long as you follow the safety procedures and stay on the right side of the fencing, you’re golden.
In terms of the hike, Twin Falls is short and sweet (rated “easy” on Vancouver Trails) – with just enough of an incline to feel like you’re getting a workout in. That being said, you’ll definitely want to bring snacks and water if you plan on hanging out for a couple of hours.

To access Twin Falls, you can cross the free suspension bridge and admire Lynn Creek from 50 metres above. After crossing over, go right at the next two junctions, following the Baden Powell Trail. Folks can enjoy the lush rainforest greenery as you make your way through a series of stairs and switchbacks. You’ll soon reach a final set of wooden steps, where you can see Twin Falls from above.
