About this place
This 14km roundtrip trail will provide a few great features: lush forests, river, and a great waterfall.
The trail starts in Lynn Headwaters Regional Park.
This is a fantastic day hike that give you just enough of a challenge but isn't too long. It's about 14km to the norvan waterfalls and back ( 7km each way) and it totally work the walk. There is very minimal gain on this hike.
The first bit of the trail is along the lower Lynn Loop which is a wide gravel road. Make sure to look for the old relics from the days of logging. As you pass the junction the trail will wind along the Lynn Canyon River before gently turning inwards towards the mountains. The remainder of the trail winds through forests before you finally emerge on NorVan Falls.
This hike can be very busy during the spring and summer months with the first few km's of the trail usually very busy with people walking their dogs. Parking can also be very busy and the lots fill up quick so make sure you arrive early.
Because these trails are in a temperate rainforest, and it tends to rain a lot in Vancouver, these trails can be very muddy. Make sure to wear appropriate shoes.
If you fill out the hiking sheet at the start of the trail, don't forget to deposit the other half on the way out of the park.
