Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in North Vancouver, Canada.
Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is a narrow pedestrian bridge 50 metres above the canyon floor in Lynn Canyon Park, North Vancouver. Its deck is a continuous run of horizontal wooden planks with a metal mesh strip down the centre. Thick dark cables serve as handrails on each side, and black chain-link fencing hangs from them to the deck. The bridge is part of the Baden-Powell Trail.
Built in 1912, the bridge was originally created to connect hiking paths for local outdoor enthusiasts. Over time it became a destination that drew more visitors to the park and helped establish Lynn Canyon as a popular recreation area.
The bridge is part of the Baden-Powell Trail, and many visitors cross it only as a viewpoint rather than hiking on. It has appeared on screen: in Disney's Descendants it stood in for Auradon and led to the 30 Foot Pool, cast as the Enchanted Lake, and it featured in a MacGyver episode, "The Invisible Killer".
The bridge is free to cross and forms part of the Baden-Powell Trail, so expect hikers passing through. The deck is narrow and sways noticeably when others walk on it; the wooden planks and central metal mesh can be slick after rain. Many visitors come only for the bridge and skip the trails.
The footbridge sways and moves with each step, creating a dynamic sensation as you cross. This movement is completely safe, but it creates an experience that many visitors find memorable and unexpected.
