Posted on: August 22, 2025
There’s a new way to adventure in the Sea to Sky—and it’s as epic as the views that come with it.
Squamish Canyon just opened its boardwalks to explorers, and we have five solid reasons you’ll want to put this experience at the top of your itinerary.
1. It’s the Easiest Hike You’ll Brag About
No scrambling over roots. No steep switchbacks. Just an elevated boardwalk that winds effortlessly through towering forest and along the edge of a spectacular canyon. It’s the kind of trail where your whole crew- kids, grandparents, and everyone in between can soak up the beauty without breaking a sweat- all while preserving the forest floor. How awesome is that?!
2. A Waterfall Wonderland Awaits
Mamquam Falls and the canyon is the star of the show here. This powerful cascade crashes into pools deep in the canyon, and you’ll have multiple viewing platforms to take it all in (and take all the photos). Nature really nailed it with this one. From lush forest floors to dramatic cliffs and the rushing river below, the scenery changes at every turn. Bring your camera and your curiosity- you’ll want to linger at the viewpoints to make the most of this experience.
3. The Forest Lounge
Deep in the forest you'll find the forest lounge, where you can can relax, refuel, and let your young adventurers play in an area designed just for them. Here they have thoughtfully curated a menu of locally sourced beverages, baked goods, and light snacks that reflect the spirit of the region. Grab a glass of wine or cold beer, enjoy a snack while the kids run around.
4. Built-In Adventure for the Kids
Yes, there’s a playground. Yes, it’s awesome. After they’ve spotted waterfalls and conquered the boardwalk, kids can burn off extra energy at the nature-inspired play area that invites them to explore and build a deeper connection with the natural world. Parents can unwind and keep an eye on them from a licensed patio above. How perfect is that??
5. It’s the Perfect Rain-or-Shine Spot
This is Squamish—we embrace the mist! The boardwalk is easy to navigate in all weather, and honestly, a little drizzle just makes the forest feel even more magical. The forest will gently change with the time of day and the seasons, each time you visit will be a different experience. So pack a layer, channel your inner west coaster, and go full rainforest vibes.
