Step Above the Forest Floor

Explore the lush coastal rainforest and rugged canyon landscape from a whole new perspective. From elevated walkways and cantilevered viewing platforms, take in awe-inspiring views while the forest below remains undisturbed.

Designed to work with the landscape rather than cut a path through it, the walkways follow the natural flow of the forest, winding between trees, around trunks, and above the ferns.

Some trees even grow straight through the boardwalk. We call these our huggable trees! A fun family challenge: how many can you find and hug along the way?

Discover the Mamquam Canyon & Falls from Above

Follow the Mamquam River as it rushes through the canyon below, fed by glaciers high in the Coast Mountains. As you wind around the canyon edges, strategically placed cantilevered viewing platforms bring you closer to the action, revealing a different perspective with every turn.

Keep an eye on the water as the seasons change. Glacial silt can transform the river from milky white to deep emerald green, creating a constantly changing view of the canyon below.

Pause, Look Closer.

Discover the stories of the coastal temperate rainforest and the life that thrives within it. Learn how the forest, wildlife and glacier-fed river are all connected, and what makes this landscape so unique.

Young explorers can join the journey with kid-friendly interactive signs, games and discovery stations found along the boardwalk.

And while you explore, remember to slow down and look a little closer. Find a bench, take a deep breath and listen to the forest around you. Sometimes the best way to experience nature is simply to pause and notice.

Take a Break in the Forest Lounge

Tucked into the heart of the rainforest, the Forest Lounge feels a little like the ultimate treehouse in the woods, a place designed for everyone to slow down, settle in and let their inner child out to play.

Grab a coffee, fresh-baked treat or light bite, then find your own way to enjoy the space. Challenge your family to a deck game, curl up with a good book, or simply sit back and watch the trees sway in the breeze.

Take a moment, breathe in the forest and make the space your own.

Continue the Adventure in the Nature Inspired Playground

Parents, consider this your fair warning: once your little explorers spot Little Cedars Playground through the trees, their excitement will have them running.

Built into the forest, this nature-inspired playground invites kids to climb, scramble, balance and explore among the logs, letting their imaginations lead the way. It’s a chance to burn off some energy, discover new ways to play and experience the forest from a whole new perspective.

Sit back and enjoy watching them play, or climb on with them. Because the best family memories happen when everyone gets to enjoy the forest in their own way.

Designed for More People to Experience Nature

The experience will look a little different for everyone. The elevated boardwalk opens a path into the heart of nature, bringing you close to the power of the river, the forest and the canyon while giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

There’s no right or wrong way to explore. Wander, pause, take in the views or simply find a quiet spot to breathe it all in. Designed with low-rise, long-run stairs and a thoughtfully built pathway, Squamish Canyon offers a more comfortable way to immerse yourself in nature.

Come as you are, explore at your own pace and leave with memories that last long after you’ve left

There’s no right way to experience nature.

You can explore, play, sit quietly, bring the family, take your time.

The experience meets you where you are.
