Nice information centre about the area.

A really beautiful place to walk.

A bit crowded but still a nice stop

I have done this at the end of July. While it is as everybody describes, easy to the lower falls and not super hard to the upper falls, it was extremely crowded and it felt more like cattle drive up there. I suggest do this very early in the morning or evening there is probably less traffic.

From the southern vantage point of Brandywine Falls, you have a magnificent view of Daisy Lake Reservoir and Black Tusk Mountain in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The Daisy Lake Reservoir was created in 1926 after the construction of the Cheakamus Dam; the dam was replaced in 1984. The reservoir is part of the Cheakamus Hydroelectric Power Plant on the Squamish River. https://www.bchydro.com/energy-in-bc/operations/transmission-reservoir-data/previous-reservoir-elevations/lower-mainland/daisy_lake_dsy.html

The Ecology Centre in Lynn Canyon Park has existed since 1971 and is managed by the District of North Vancouver’s Parks Department. It serves as both a museum and information centre, also providing educational opportunities about nature and the environment to the public. https://ecologycentre.ca/ecology-centre/

Lynn Canyon Park is located in a temperate rainforest. The public park is open year-round and is managed by the District of North Vancouver. Admission is free, however, parking at the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre is subject to a fee during the months of March through October - $3 per hour. The Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge is the park's main attraction. To the north there are two considerably larger nature reserves, the Lynn Headwaters Regional Park in the upper Lynn Valley and the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve in the valley of the Seymour River. https://ecologycentre.ca/park-history/

The 27-meter-high Elk Falls are located in Elk Falls Provincial Park near the town of Campbell River. Since 1948, the waters of the river of the same name have been dammed by John Hart Reservoir and largely diverted for hydroelectric power generation. The waterfall maintains a constant flow year-round, although this flow never reaches its original levels. https://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Elk-Falls-1910 The Campbell River Hydroelectric Facilities Discovery Centre/Museum at Campbell River displays a photo from December 2016, when BC Hydro released large amounts of water from John Hart Lake to reduce flood risk, plunging it over Elk Falls into the gorge.
