Article started[edit]

I just started this article and it's still a bit messy. I'll be coming back to at by at lease monday. Zhatt 01:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization[edit]

The Baden Powell Trail should not redirect to this page. Only a very short section of the very long trail is within this park. There are numerous other parks (including at least one that has wikipedia pages) also have a section of the trail.

Personally I think the article Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge should have been kept as it is a historical bridge, and a tourist attraction. Although the park is a nice park, other than the bridge, there is nothing notable about this park. All of the links coming into this page are coming in as a link about the bridge. I think this article should be moved back to Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge. -- Webgeer 00:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but since there was not much information for any of the three (the park, bridge and trail) I decided to lump them together for now. If one were to get enough information to warrent it's own article, all the better, but if they were seperate articles now, they would likely be subject to VFD tags. Zhatt

In the Plains Of???[edit]

With regards to the recent edit by "216.13.216.58". You have changed it to read "in the plains of North Vancouver".

Say what??? Plains???

There aren't any plains in North Vancouver. It just doesn't fit the description of plains. Lynn Canyon Park isn't exactly "in the mountains", but then again it isn't exactly "not in the mountains" either.

I'm thinking this edit is going to have to be reversed.

I agree. Canyons aren't usually in "plains". Going to revert. Zhatt 05:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think foothills might be more apt. 75.157.198.121 (talk) 09:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Old Growth all gone[edit]

Had you been to Lynn Valley over 100 years ago, you'd have seen unimaginable prehistoric forests: Authentic documents attest to Douglas fir up to 400-Feet-high, 12-18 feet in diameter, and 1,000 years old. Nothing but several large stumps, and old woodsmen's tales remain of the original forests.

Trees of this size, on par with the Redwoods, were decimated by logging. Something like 95% destroyed. Imaging the neck pain of looking up to a 400-ft Douglas Fir. --71.222.61.245 04:43, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The forest in Lynn Canyon was devastated by a fire a century ago. The forest is completely second growth. 75.157.198.121 (talk) 09:15, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1923 pic of "Indian Head Canyon"......from British Library collection on the Commons[edit]

Too nice a pic to not have somewhere here; unless this isn't in today's park? then on the Lynn Creek article.Skookum1 (talk) 15:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Content[edit]

For a project in a course at UBC, I have added some more information about the ecology centre and general ecology of the area. Everything after the title "Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre" is new material.
