Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

3735 Capilano Road · North Vancouver, BC

Why you should go…

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park covers 27 acres of West Coast rainforest in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Its namesake bridge spans 140 metres and hangs 70 metres above the Capilano River; the original 1889 rope and cedar bridge has since been rebuilt with steel cables. The park also includes Treetops Adventure, a series of suspension bridges strung between old-growth Douglas firs, and Cliffwalk, a 213-metre walkway hugging a granite cliff face.

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
