林恩峽谷(Lynn Valley)公園
為北溫哥華最受歡迎的野生公園之一。公園內有峽谷、瀑布、溪流、水潭與珍貴的針葉林,還有一條高達50公
尺的吊橋。溫和的氣候與高達一公尺半的年雨量提供植物良好的生長環境。本世紀初的森林砍伐,留下目前八、九十年的二代林。在這裡你可以觀賞到的各種植物與野鳥。十九世紀晚期,林恩峽谷的古老森林中,成千上
百的道格拉斯冷杉(Douglas Fir)與西部紅柏(Western Red Cedar)開始砍伐,鋸為木板送到加拿大東部、美國、以及歐洲。許多大樹高達數十公尺。當你走過公園,你將會注意到一些僅存的巨木斷幹。你仍可以明顯看見當年划木站板的凹洞。
林恩峽谷成立於1912年,爾後幾次擴充為目前二百五十公頃大小,已成為大溫哥華地區最大的市立公園之一。公園內擁有許多長短與難易不一的登山步道。有一條高五十公尺的的吊橋,橫跨於林恩峽谷之上。走過吊橋,
沿溪而上十分鐘的步程,來到一個九公尺大的水池,溪水清澈見底,清涼無比,夏天總吸引不少青少年來玩水。十五分鐘步程向南,你將來到孿生瀑布。公園的東北角步道可以帶你到鄰近的西摩示範森林與林恩水源公園。
