Mt Seymour, not just for Winter sports.

7. Lynn Headwaters Regional Park
Oh! Oh wow! This place is really nice.
On the upper part of the trail you have to huff it up a bit, scramble over roots and rocks, through little creeks and try not to worry about the recent Bear sightings..haha.
But down below on the lower trail, the…More »
8. Hastings Park
Few people know how far back the history goes for this area. More than 120 years. There are few artifacts remaining from that time with exception of the Race Course which opened in 1892.
Another thing many people overlook is how much green space there…More »

With trails hugging the coast and meandering into the rainforest, following a creek up past large mossy trees and then jutting out on multiple outcroppings for views of the water, this beautiful park is really worth the time to visit.
