Squamish Canyon

39180 Powerhouse Springs Road · Squamish, BC

Why you should go…

Squamish Canyon is a 1.7 kilometer network of elevated boardwalks and walkways built through a forested canyon along the Mamquam River, operated by Mamquam Adventures and opened to the public on August 1, 2025. Visitors cross bridges and canyon walkways past waterfalls and old growth forest canopy on a route that takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The site includes an interpretive program, a children's play area and a licensed patio serving food and drink, and sits about 15 minutes from downtown Squamish along the Sea to Sky corridor.

Good to know

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.
