About Lynn Headwaters Regional Park

 

Lynn Headwaters Regional Park, located just north of Vancouver in British Columbia, is a picturesque outdoor destination spanning over 9,000 acres. The park serves as a gateway to the North Shore mountains, providing an extensive network of trails that cater to hikers of all skill levels. Its trails range from easy walks along the river to challenging routes through the rugged mountain terrain. The park is part of the temperate rainforest ecosystem, characterized by lush vegetation, large Douglas firs, and abundant wildlife, including black bears and various bird species. Historically, the area was used by the Coast Salish peoples and later became popular with loggers. Today, its natural beauty draws hikers, nature enthusiasts, trail runners, and photographers year-round, offering a chance to explore waterfalls, alpine lakes, and panoramic vistas.
