The Lynn Canyon Suspension bridge is one of Lynn Valley's best kept secrets. The 50 meter high bridge stretches accross a beautiful canyon boasting raging waters, waterfalls and deep pools below. The bridge is a popular attraction among tourists and locals alike, the best part is that it is free of charge for all to see.
Crossing the bridge is always an exciting experience, it bounces up and down and sways from side to side with every step.
The bridge is quite narrow and crossing becomes a little nerve racking when there are several others trying to cross at the same time. The view from the middle of the bridge is breathtaking!
The entire canyon is in view which makes for a perfect photo opportunity. Steady hands make the best photograph but this bridge is tricky to stand up on and often shaking with others crossing. It is usually best to wait until the bridge is clear to take photos.
