Top 11 North Vancouver Tourist Attractions You Can't Miss

2.  The Capilano Suspension Bridge, North Vancouver

View an impressive spillway nearing 300 feet, holding back the 670-acre man-made Capilano Lake, which provides the wonderful, pure drinking water for much of the Greater Vancouver region. Capilano-Pacific Trail runs 5 miles (8 km) north from Ambleside Park to Capilano Lake.

4.  Grouse Mountain, North Vancouver

Known as both a resort and an attraction, Grouse Mountain is a popular North Vancouver year-round mountain playground. There’s no better view of Vancouver’s North Shore and the city of Vancouver than the one you’ll see from the famous Grouse Mountain Skyride, an aerial tram that ferries visitors up the mountain 365 days a year.

5.  Lynn Canyon Park,  North Vancouver

Lynn Canyon Park is a free self-guided adventure and a great place to learn about North Vancouver’s eco-system. Although the main attraction is the suspension bridge, people also enjoy hiking the surrounding boardwalks and trails. Rangers are on site in July and August to to offer walking tours and information about the area’s flora and fauna.

6.  The Lonsdale Quay, North Vancouver

Profess your love at the The Lonsdale Quay. Or shop, eat and enjoy this fine tourist destination.  

The Market opened its doors in April 1986. The Market is located on the waterfront in North Vancouver, near the Seabus terminal.

With its waterfront location, The Quay offers a stunning view of Vancouver’s skyline both during the day and in the evening. The Quay is also an excellent spot for watching the cruise ships in the harbour during the summer.

7.  The Spirit Trail, North Vancouver

Join me for my daily walks along the North Shore Spirit Trail; an ambitious effort by the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver, the District of West Vancouver, and the Squamish and Tsleil Waututh First Nations to create a continuous greenway across the entire North Shore. Eventually, you will be able to hike, bike, or rollerblade from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay on the continuous path.

8.  Mount Seymour, North Vancouver

Mt Seymour is a Vancouver family owned and operated ski-hill delivering a relaxed West Coast feel only 30 minutes drive from downtown Vancouver. Since 1984, the Wood family has owned and operated Mt Seymour and pride themselves on staying true to the mountain’s roots and creating a welcoming family atmosphere offering snowboarding and skiing lessons Located in the Mount Seymour Provincial Park, the ski and snowboard area’s proximity to the Pacific Ocean, eastern aspect and the high base elevation provide an average annual snowfall of over 1,000cm.

Every summer between May and October is the Friday night Shipyards Night Market, which is arguably the best spot in all of North Vancouver to spend a Friday night. The market opens at 5pm and closes at 10pm.

This is by far the best place to eat, shop and be merry, as there are fabulous food trucks, local artisans and local bands set up each and every week. It all happens in the historic Shipyards District right along the harbour.

11. Quarry Rock, Hiking Trail North Vancouver

Quarry Rock is undoubtedly one of the most popular day hikes in North Vancouver. It is short enough to make it available to even the most novice of hikers, yet has enough climbing and variation to make things interesting for the weekend warrior also. Within one hour of beginning your hike, you have access to one of the best views of the Indian Arm
