Why go
This regional park suits travellers who want a genuine woodland walk rather than a packaged attraction. Cedar and Douglas-fir forest frame the Capilano canyon, and routes near Cleveland Dam reveal both the reservoir and spillway. Expect a more rugged, weather-dependent outing than a downtown park stroll.
What to look for
- Cleveland Dam and spillway views
- Forested canyon trails above the Capilano River
- Cedar and Douglas-fir woodland close to the city
Useful to know
- Wear shoes suited to roots, slopes and damp ground; trail conditions change quickly after rain.
- Visit in daylight and check posted gate and trail notices, especially outside summer.
- Do not confuse this free regional park with the nearby ticketed suspension bridge attraction.
