Easy outing · North Shore Lynn Canyon Park (suspension bridge, Twin Falls, 30 Foot Pool) North Shore rain eases to a 40% chance of showers on Saturday, high 15, and the Twin Falls loop takes 35 to 45 minutes on average. After Friday's rainfall warning, Lynn Creek will run high and the canyon trails will be muddy, so stay on the trails and away from the water. Park gates are open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. No live status feed; check the official page. Go prepared: leave a trip plan. Official page → |
Big day · Indian Arm Buntzen Lake The 8 km Lake Loop has only 100 m of gain, so a long day here is about time on your feet, not climbing. A rockslide has cut pedestrian access on Powerhouse Road, so confirm the loop is passable before you go. Gates close at 4:30 p.m. in November, so start by about 11 a.m. Distance: Buntzen Lake Loop Trail: 8 km · Elevation gain: 100 m · Time: 4-5 hours return No live status feed; check the official page. Go prepared: leave a trip plan. Official page → |
Low-key · Squamish Shannon Falls Squamish has periods of rain through Sunday, and the 350 m trail through hemlock, fir and cedar keeps the outing short. Wooden walkways get slippery, and BC Parks warns that heavy rain can suddenly raise the creek and carry debris, so stay on the trail and off the rocks and creek edge. BC Parks: open; 3 notice(s), none closing access. Go prepared: leave a trip plan. Official page → |
New, changed, gone No new closures in the parks we track. BC Parks notices as of Fri 7:28 a.m. |
