Come for a relaxing walk alongside the beautiful Seymour River in North Vancouver. This 10.9 km moderate loop offers 411 m of elevation gain and takes you through a lush, temperate rainforest filled with giant cedar and Douglas fir trees.
You'll cross the Seymour River Suspension Bridge, with amazing canyon views, and wander trails lined with moss, ferns, and potential wildlife sightings like coyotes or black bears (from a safe distance!).
This area lies within the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, which protects local drinking water and provides critical habitat for salmon spawning. It is located on the traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, whose connection to this land spans thousands of years.
