Prospect Point sits on the northernmost end of Stanley Park and is most famous for its observation decks. Paved walkways descend below the bridge where the Prospect Point Lighthouse sits on the shores of the water. There is a large Canadian flag and plenty of informational signage to read up on.

Hiking
Prospect Point in Stanley Park is located at the northern tip of Vancouver's Downtown Peninsula, where the Lions Gate Bridge spans the First Narrows and connects Vancouver to the western and northern parts of the city. The spot owes its name to its strategic location with excellent views.
