Baden Powell Trail: Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon: Difficulty - Intermediate

Attention: This hike is one-way!

About the Hike:

The Deep Cove to Lynn Canyon section of the Baden Powell Trail is a scenic, well-maintained section. Numerous attractions are passed along the way, with the most popular being Quarry Rock, Seymour Canyon, Twin Falls, and Lynn Canyon. Trail conditions range considerably throughout the hike, with a mix of smooth paths, long boardwalks, steep staircases, and rougher terrain.

The Baden Powell Trail has multiple parts, this part of the trail is approximately 1/3 of the total trail but is more than enough for most people.

We will start in Deep Cove and finish near Kilmer Park/End of the Line Grocery Store in Lynn Valley.
