Staff report
July 21, 2025 5:03pm

District of North Vancouver rangers and firefighters spent much of the past month hauling distressed cliff‑jumpers out of Lynn Canyon Park, prompting the District to renew warnings about the perilous pastime.

Officials say the canyon’s water is “icy,” with hypothermia setting in quickly, and the rock faces are “steep and slippery,” sometimes unstable underfoot. Sudden shifts in water levels add to the danger for thrill‑seekers and the first responders sent to save them. Over the last five decades, more than 40 people have died in the canyon.

To reach younger visitors, the District has installed a series of bold new signs this week. “Cliff jumping might look cool, but it’s seriously dangerous—and sometimes deadly,” the signs read.

Parents and friends are also being urged to talk with anyone planning a trip to Lynn Canyon during the hot weather. The District “strongly advises against” jumping from the canyon’s ledges, stressing that another rescue could be only a misstep away.
