Hike Vancouver. "Old Lillooet Trail." Updated October 24, 2026. https://hikevancouver.ca/trails/old-lillooet-trail/
From the lot by Lynn Creek, pass under the Keith Rd and Hwy 1 bridges, walk up the west bank, cross a footbridge and continue upstream on the east side. Just past the Morten Creek sign, the unmarked Old Lillooet Trail climbs through forest on red markers, over boardwalks and roots high above the creek, to meet the Baden-Powell. Stay left on an unmarked path down to creek level, follow a boardwalk past a beach and continue upstream to the Twin Falls bridge in Lynn Canyon Park before returning.

Hi, I'm Cam Appleton. I love Vancouver and I love getting out on its trails. When I went looking for a simple, easy hiking guide for around here, I couldn't find one I liked. I also really like helping people, so I built this one.
My day job is real estate. I help people buy, sell and lease. I hope you're enjoying the start of Hike Vancouver. If you're thinking about living closer to trails like this one, I'm happy to talk.
