If you love the outdoors, forests, hiking and nature - then this free local attraction is a MUST. If you are visiting in the summer take your bathing suit with you as there is cliff jumping and swimming at the bottom of the trail once you cross the suspension bridge. We absolutely love an outing to Lynn Canyon!
