Seymour Valley + Lonsdale Brew Loop

North Vancouver — urban to wilderness

~35 km loop Paved / optional gravel Easy/Moderate

Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve BC

This route starts at the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal — a 12-minute ferry from downtown Vancouver — and heads east through North Vancouver's brewery district (Moodyville, Park & Tilford, Brooksbank) before climbing into Lynn Valley and the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR).

The Seymour Valley Trailway is a wide, paved path through mature forest along the Seymour River, with nearby access to old-growth areas. It passes no businesses or settlements — just river, forest, and quiet. The optional gravel return loop adds some elevation and singletrack.

The contrast is the point: urban brewery hopping one hour, wilderness solitude the next, all without a car.

Communities along the route: Lower Lonsdale, Moodyville, Lynn Valley, Seymour Valley
