We parked in Deep Cove (BUSY), took two buses and started at Lynn Valley. We walked 1.4km to the Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge and 14km from there back to deep cove. This is not a leisurely walk, but it is beautiful. Much of the trail is well kept, except for part of the 1.5 hour uphill hike, approximately 4 km into the trip, 1/2 an hour of which is scrambling up a combination of rocks and tree roots. At the end of the trail we had measured, digitally, that we went up over 130 flights of stairs, with a similar amount of going down - this is not a flat trail. The number of people we encountered at Quarry Rock was astounding. The hike from Quarry Rock to Deep Cove is overwhelmed with humans, which I think is magnified because the rest of the hike is so quiet and calm. The trail is well marked with orange tags and appropriately categorized as intermediate. Also, at times, we found the distance markers to be contradictory. Unfortunately, this hike had few view points, although it gained elevations that might have afforded wonderful views of the ocean and cities.

Did Deep Cove to Grouse Mountain last Saturday (May 11). Trail is in great condition. There's trail construction happening around Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge. Since it was weekend they were not working. Baden Powell trail does continue on both sides of the creek, so you can easily bypass the construction area by staying on the East side of the creek and cross the river on the concrete bridge at Rice Lake Rd. Lots of bikers on Fromme (as expected), please give them space to bike around.
About 25km, almost 7 hours of leisure hiking. Lots of people and trail runners around Quarry Rock, Lynn Valley and Fromme biking trails, otherwise fairly quiet.

THIS IS CLOSED - April 13, 2019. Baden Powell Trail is closed from the point it crosses Old Buck Trail. We had to go down the Powerline Trail and Hyannis Trail to get out of the forest... and ended up at a parking lot at the end of the Hyannis Trail. Powerline Trail is a mountain bike trail and is SUPER STEEP and CURVY. We saw snakes on our way down and was startled by the mountain bikers swooping down the curve.

Do not do this hike unless you drop a car on Hyannis drive as you will have to walk all the way down a block from Mount Seymour parkway. We had to add 5km walking along streets to get back to Lynn Canyon.

Otherwise I love this hike.

We did this hike Thursday August 9th. We started at Lynn Canyon and hiked towards Deep Cove. Since it was a hot day we wanted to have the beach at the end. I'm glad we did it that way since the rocky section up Mount Seymour is really challenging and I wouldn't have enjoyed hiking down that part.
Don't underestimate this trail. It is quite steep and technical.
There was some trail work but the trail itself was open all the way through. There is a sign that the bridge over the Seymour river is closed but it was actually open.

Take enough water with you especially on hot days!

Aya from Cambridge writes:

The trail was closed yesterday (August 14th). At some point during the trail we reached a sign saying the trail was blocked (there's work on the bridge over Seymour river). We tried taking a detour through the powerline trail, but that was blocked too, we tried a detour of that but ended up giving up. Since the twin bridges are gone too, it seems there's no way to complete the trail at the moment. It does seem like it would be a nice trail if it were open.

Amy from Edmonton writes:

Absolutely beautiful and a lot of fun. I started at 8am at Lynn Canyon so it was immensely peaceful for the first 3ish hours until I got to around Quarry Rock - feels like just you alone in a massive forest. Lots of interesting segments. Suspension bridge is indeed closed; you have to take Twin Falls, but there's another closure 10 minutes past the bridge at the Corner Pools due to ongoing construction from June until August 2018. The sign suggests "alternate routes" but doesn't give any alternates, so I guess that's important to keep in mind. Can't wait to return, although maybe after the Corner Pools construction is finished.

Note: the suspension bridge at the end of the route is currently closed. The Twin Falls bridge must be used as an alternative. Hiked this route 2nd June. Nice relaxing 5 hour walk through mainly forests, with a few stair climbs. The Lynn Valley cafe shuts at 16:00, which I just missed, so make sure you pack enough food and water, as there isn't anywhere along the route to buy anything.

We started from Lynn Canyon and the whole trail took 4.5 hrs to finish in a steady pace. This is not a scenic trail but i enjoyed the peace and serenity very much as there are few hikers (except when you get closer to Quarry Rock). Ending the hike in Deep Cove with some ice-cream is the perfect way to wrap up the day.

Dale Edginton from Manchester, UK writes:

I did the hike yesterday (22nd October 2017) from Lynn Canyon to Deep Cove. I agree with previous comments that there is more downhill sections but there was a steep section just before Mt Seymour Rd which would be quite precarious (very slippy) if attempting this section downhill with slippy conditions.

Overall a great hike, The Lynn Canyon was relatively quiet (I did start at 8am) but Quarry Rock was its usual busy self. The bit inbetween was completely deserted which made for great hiking conditions.

I prefer this way because the view from Quarry Rock is a real treat towards the end of the hike! As is 1 or 2 (or 6) doughnuts from Honeys in Deep Cove village.

Still hurting from this 6 hour hike. I'm in fair shape but had to carry a 3 year old on my back for half of it. We started at the Lynn Canyon side and had dropped of our car at Deep Cove so we would have an easy ride home. Had 3, 7 and 9 year old with us and kids complained but did a great job with this long hike. Do not expect any great viewpoints along the way, the pleasure in this hike is just experiencing the cool quietness of the north shore mountains on a hot day. The trail is well marked and quite wide in places, there is a somewhat rough trek up Seymour but totally manageable for anyone is reasonable shape. We ran into a few moutain bikers along the way so watch out for them on Seymour. We were mostly alone for the majority of the trail but it is busy at ths Canyon and the Quarry rock side. All in all I enjoyed my walk in the woods, I'm glad I can cross this one off the list but it isn't worth doing again any time soon.

I did this hike on 6/24/2017 from Lynn Canyon to Deep Cove. I enjoyed the canyons and waterfalls near the Lynn Canyon section, and the middle was very peaceful and serene (very few people), but I found the last 60-90 minutes rather monotonous (more of the same). In particular, I got the impression from someone at Lynn Canyon that the final section to Deep Cove involved continuous nice views of the water, and the trail name for that section -- Quarry Rock -- reinforced that impression. I thought that I'd be hiking along a rock face with views of the inlet for a good portion of my final trek to Deep Cove. But Quarry Rock is really just one clearing in the trail, and then you are right back into a densely wooded area. Once I realized that was the nature of the rest of the hike to Deep Cove, I just wanted to be done.

Did the hike today, from deep cove to Lynn Canyon.

Between twin falls and the south of Lynn Creek has some sections with trees fallen over wooden walkways, some are unusable but can be walked around easily.

Signs said trail was closed on june 20th for repairs, only on the Twin Falls side downwards. Repairs are still ongoing on june 22nd. There was no visible closed sign going north from Lynn Creek. We were able to pass over the turned bit, then right of the tree (as in the picture). Just look out for mashy areas right of the overturned walkway.

James from Vancouver writes:

Hiked in reverse (Lynn Canyon to Deep Cove) today. No evidence of any bridge closures, so it looks like that's all been cleared up now. There were a few downed trees lying across the path in various locations, but nothing difficult to navigate.

Only 3 stars from me, not because there's anything wrong with this hike (I quite enjoy it, actually), but there's nothing overly special about it either. The falls near Lynn are nice but too crowded with people, the view from Quarry Rock is of course nice (but again, crowded). Everything in between is much quieter (though there were a lot of mountain bikers out on Seymour today), and a solid beginner to intermediate hike through the trees.

Completed in almost 3 hours on the dot, including a 10 minute snack break, moving faster than most everyone who stay near the falls/Quarry Rock, but not trail running. As others have mentioned, expect it to take longer (maybe another 30 minutes) in the other direction (Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon) with more uphill than down this way.

Brett McLaren from North Vancouver writes:

There is a point where the bridge is out, so for about 15 metres, you will need to offroad it. It's really not that bad.

The hiking trail itself was good, went from Lynn Canyon to Deep Cove, took about 3.5 hours. Would probably take 5 hours going in the other direction.

Grace from Vancouver writes:

My mom and I went from Lynn canyon to deep cove. I would highly recommend going this direction, as the paths are mainly downhill or flat, and you get some excellent views of Howe sound at Quarry rock near the end of your hike. Plus, it was nice taking a stroll after our hike in the quaint little town of deep cove while rewarding ourselves with some delicious gelato. The trail was pretty much flat and very easy (good for running) and not very technical. This could be perfect for hikers of all ages and abilities. The trail was groomed terrifically, so its a shame there's not many people on the trail that day. The majority of the trail you get to see the good old temperate rainforest and the thousands of coniferous trees, nothing too special if you live in the pacific northwest. There was also a section where we passed some friendly mountain bikers in which we exchanged a quick hello. (but be careful! let them have the right of way, you don't want to be involved in a collision!) Overall, this was a mediocore hike, and personally, I would rather choose a hike that has killer views instead of one that consists of hours trekking in the midst of evergreens.

Beautiful trail the entire way. Just make very sure you watch for the orange diamonds marked "BP" sporadically located on trees along the trail. It's easy to head down the wrong trail, so if you stop seeing any orange markers, or only see the square unlabeled ones, it's best to backtrack until you're sure you're back on the right trail.

Nice forest trail, but poorly signed at times (got lost a lot) + crosses a few car streets which i found annoying. Took me 4.5h with quick walking, probably much much more if you take a relaxed pace. Super busy beginning, super busy at the end. But great for a long extended walk.

Very nice trail, walked it on the Dec 12th a Monday with light rain at 7 °C. A wonderful experience as I met only 20 ppl along all 12 km. Mostly at beginning and end. A clear recommendation for all who seek solitude with nature. I will always remember the mystical forests, creeks and waterfalls. Good rainproof shoes, an umbrella and rain gear helped to make this nice.

I lost my track in the second half, cause the signs were not visible. Found it back after some detour. That would make one star less, but the very helpful Canadians I met, helped me on the way again, so thats an extra star - making it a great tour even in very modest weather.

It took me 5 hours though and I was back just before dark. Its advisable to start no later than 11 am at Deep Cove in Winter.

Hans Koch from North Vancouver writes:

A good hike that isn't too technical. Fairly well marked - Trees are marked with an orange/yellow 'BP' marker, 6ft up, along the entire trail. If you just follow the signs on the posts at the different trail heads and train intersections, it might be a little confusing but looking for the 'BP' markers makes it easy.
Did the hike during a bit of rain, just after a very dry period. This made a lot of the rocks and tree roots very slippery, so watch your step.
The beginning of the trail (at Deep Cove) was packed with tourists trying to get up to the lookout at Quarry Rock, which makes the first park feel like you are stuck on traffic.
Last part, between Twin Falls and Lynn Canyon Susp. bridge, was also packed with tourists who seem to ignore how narrow the suspension bridge is and that other people are just trying to use it to cross the canyon.
Everything in between is nice and very well kept. Only met a handful of dog-walkers and trail runners, but that might have been because of the rain.
All in all an enjoyable hike!

Hiked from the start of the Baden Powell marked at the intersection of Dempsey Road and Lynn Valley Road to Deep Cove. Took us just under 3 1/2 hours at a decent clip with a couple of pit stops for water and refuelling. A decent trail with a little mud, which is to be expected in early April, but was definitely an enjoyable hike. The only thing I didn't like was the throng of people at Lynn Canyon, and at the end at Deep Cove between Quarry Rock and Deep Cove, but my choice of days could have been better to avoid that problem. All in all a great hike, however people using the trail should be familiar with trail etiquette, and move over if someone is coming up behind them. It is a common courtesy in hiking and mountain biking, and not all people are aware. Perhaps now some readers are :-)

Great hike. Very well marked trail. There was one marker that was on the other side of the trail that was opposite to where you are walking. This marker is located right junction of BP and PowerLine(?). BP turns down the mountain sharply towards Hyannis Point. I would say that same portion of trail is the most difficult as well since you are heading right down the mountain on uneven ground with loose soil and rocks, and exposed roots everywhere. I found this section a bit punishing on the knees.

Otherwise, great trail. I did this on the shoulder season in the spring in 3hrs. 45mins. Took lots of photos, and stopped to talk to a friend briefly at Hyannis Point.

Bring lots of water, since there aren't places to fill up on the trail, and snacks. Wear sturdy shoes/hiking boots/ trail runners since the even the stairs on the trail can get slippery, and in some places the trail was muddy and flooded. These can be easily avoided as well.

There aren't many place to stop if you need a washroom break so prepare yourself.

Larissa from Vancouver writes:

I've done the trail twice now: once with a group of 5 friends, and again alone as a time trial. As a 21yo female who regularly goes to the gym and kickboxes, I would rate this trail an easy-intermediate. Definitely my new favorite for a time-trial though: on a good day, you can continue the extra 8km to Grouse Mountain for an extended workout.


DURATION:
With friends, we took approximately 5h including a break at the top of Quarry Rock and a lunch break.

When I went alone as a time trial (hiking as fast as I could and jogging where I could), I finished in 2h38m including a lunch break. If you are in relatively good shape and push yourself, you will easily finish under 3 hours.


TRAIL:
The first third of the trail is mostly uphill. You'll see lots of people for the first 20-40minutes, but after you pass Quarry Rock, you'll enter into the trees and get a lot of the trail to yourself.

About a third of the way, there will be a 20-35minute period where you will be making a descent. This part is the only part of the trail that I dislike: the rocks are loose, and it's extremely easy to slip and fall on your butt. It's not dangerous by any means, but if you have an irrational fear of falling down small hills like I do, it'll slow you down considerably.

Shortly after the descent, you'll reach the section of the trail that's perfect for running: slight slopes, firm ground, lots of wooden bridges. Makes for a really great 20 minute jog, and you're likely to see other joggers too.

The ending is a climb up to the Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge. Great way to finish a workout!


VIEWS:
Most of the trail is just going to be forest. However,
- After about 40 minutes, you'll hit Quarry Rock overlooking the water of Deep Cove
- Once you get to Lynn Canyon, you'll see Twin Falls and the Suspension Bridge

RATING:
4/5, with one star off for the slippery down-hill.

I just hiked this yesterday from Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon. Midway through you really hit a zen moment in all the forest and green - quite beautiful. VERY IMPORTANT, the point where you turn down is just a few meters from the Power Line trail (you'll know you're on it if you come out onto a clear logging road with the power line in view). If you are on it, you'll have passed the turn off that was supposed to be left. Go back into the forest and look for the a BP trail marker, which is on the OTHER side of a tree, facing down to people coming in the other direction. Check around trees to find this marker. Everyone else that I was hiking with managed to get lost (I could not find them again). Other than this turn off point, the rest of the trail is well-marked.

Nice trail but the sings are hopeless. Maps on the posts that don't even show where you are.

Hugh signs for bikers, nothing much for hikers.

Hiked from Deep Cove to Lynn Valley and it took a lot longer than planned because of the lack of markings at Quarry Rock.

Did this route today (Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon). Took 5 hrs including getting lost about 3 times - went way down the Bridal Trail without realising and back up, and then a couple of other spots e.g. at Twin Falls, went over the bridge and up those stairs instead of staying to the right! Must pay attention all the time if it's your first time! Would have taken me about 4hrs otherwise.
Very enjoyable hike, hard on the knees going down the very rocky part, guess those that do it regular or live close by have no problem, practically running down it!
Muddy in a few spots but no complaints. Good for endurance, and good balance of up and down.

While the actual hike today was good, it was a crush of people at the beginning and end of the trail. Very rarely have I overtaken a toddler in a tutu on a hike :-) but this starts in "the cove" where it seems everyone is out for a hike to Quarry rock on Sunday morning. At the other end, near the suspension bridge, there were so many tourists. Still it was a great day to be out on the trails! We were five hours in total, with one wrong turn down a biking trail and back up to BP included. Plus we followed Varney trail right back to the parking lot at Lynn Headwaters, so maybe that took a little longer too!

Did this hike today for the very first time. It was exactly challenging and enjoyable for my needs and wants. It took me 3 1/2 hours and was temporarily confused only a couple of times. The rocky descent section referred to in the overview was quite challenging and potentially treacherous. If you're not employing slow, deliberate foot placements you're asking for disaster.

All in all a fantastic hike and well worthwhile.

I think it would be helpful to add

Not long after leaving the gravel road, the trail reaches a paved road called Indian River Drive. The Baden Powell Trail continues west along this road, so go left and walk alongside the road FOR ABOUT 500m, carefully watching for cars passing alongside the narrow road. The start of the Baden Powell trail is next to a large water tower on the opposite side of the road.

the suggested changes are in caps and do not suggest anger or volume. I enjoyed the hike today immensely and would recommend it to anyone. We live in a beautiful place!
