The Lynn Headwaters area encompasses the uppermost residential properties in the Lynn Valley district, situated at and near the gateway to Lynn Headwaters Regional Park — one of Metro Vancouver's largest and most spectacular wilderness parks, covering nearly 4,000 hectares of old-growth forest, mountain streams, and Coast Mountain terrain.
Homes in this area occupy one of the most coveted positions in North Vancouver residential real estate: the last houses before the wilderness. Properties here are typically on large, heavily treed lots with the sounds and sights of the forest as their primary outlook. The Lynn Loop trail and access to the Headwaters Trail begin within walking distance of the residential streets.
The Lynn Headwaters area feeds into the Lynn Valley school system, with Argyle Secondary serving secondary students. For buyers who place wilderness access above all other location criteria — and who want to minimize the gap between their front door and the old-growth forest of the Coast Mountains — the Lynn Headwaters area delivers the most complete expression of that North Shore value proposition available in the residential market.

Downtown Vancouver is typically 35–45 minutes by car via Lynn Valley Road and the Upper Levels Highway interchange.
