Capilano Suspension Bridge and Treetops Adventure

3735 Capilano Road
604-985-7474
There's a lot we could say about Greater Vancouver's number one attraction (and the oldest-it dates back to 1889), we reckon we'll get your heart racing as you cross the 450-foot (137m) swaying bridge that's suspended 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Not to be missed is the exhilarating Treetops Adventure where you wander through the forest canopy along seven suspension bridges 100 feet (30m) above the ground. There are plenty of easy forest strolls and a cliffhanger walk to keep your pulse racing.

Seymour Demonstration Forest/Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve

This is one on Vancouver's North Shore's best-loved recreational areas drawing enthusiasts from around the region, and plenty of visitors too. The paved 10 km Seymour Valley Trailway is a beacon for hikers, walkers, in-line skaters, and road cyclists while a vast network of off-road trails appeal to the area's extreme-style mountain bikers. Try fishing in Rice Lake, or kayaking and canoeing on the Seymour River.

Cleveland Dam

This remarkable dam, built in 1954, sits atop the Capilano River Regional Park that blocks Capilano Lake that supplies about 40% of the Lower Mainland's fresh drinking water. Park at the Cleveland Dam parking lot to view water spilling over the dam. Capilano Lake and the peaks of the Lions provide a spectacular backdrop. There are also several short hikes and trails that lead to amazing views of the dam.
