For a trail that goes on different directions the signs are unclear (took the longer trail which I didn't want to go on) other than that, it's a very nice serene hike away from the busy city. Lots of great views and clean air.

Great little walk - we really enjoyed walking along the river and the air at the bottom of the canyon was cool and fresh.

I did this hike today and it was amazing. Easy parking, the roaring river. The fish hatchery was a treat to explore. The hike across the river and back to the damn was not tough at all but we broke a little sweat going uphill.

Did the hike with friends in October. Perfect hike to do while the kids are in school, short enough but beautiful scenery. The forest around the Shinglebolt trail seemed enchanted with the huge, mossy trees and sunlight flickering through. The river snakes between sheer rocky walls and makes you forget that you are still in the city! Highly recommended.

Pipeline bridge is now open. Trail is absolutely fantastic! Saw lots of salmon in the river.

Did this trail with a buddy a few days back, went across the whole thing and even went to see the hatchery, very nice trail and an awesome view when you get close to the dam!

I confirm that the pipeline bridge is closed "Commencing March 1st until further notice".

So when you reach the pipeline bridge you just have to turn left and take the trail that follow the river, and you will reach the Cable Pool Bridge; then if you keep going without crossing that bridge, you'll reach a 2nd bridge that leads directly to the Salmon Hatchery.

Tried to do the hike today. However, the pipeline bridge was closed so we ended up walking down to the view point and back...

Did this great little hike on Sunday morning after the thunder storm on Saturday Night. Started off from the hatchery and made the climb to the dam. The trails were in excellent shape even with some muddy sections. Lot more enjoyable than on a treadmill.

The road back to North Vancouver was closed for me last weekend, so you can either walkback across the dem, or walk all the way to West Vancouver. Some part of the trail is very slippery if it rains couple days ago.
