Lynn Valley started as a logging road to the mill built in 1911.  Later in the 1950s, it was significantly developed after the Second Narrows Bridge was completed, making automobile access into Vancouver reliable.  The community was built on the west side of the steep Lynn Valley, with Mountain Highway as the north-south route to the Second Narrows Bridge, and Lynn Valley Road being the diagonal road into the core of North Vancouver. 

Central Lynn is just north of Lynn Valley Centre.  Upper Lynn is the neighbourhood around where Mountain Highway meets Dempsey Rd, just below the treeline.  Westlynn was developed in the 1960s and is bordered by Lynn Canyon Park on the east and Lynn Valley Rd and the Upper Levels Highway to the west.  Lower Westlynn is the neighbourhood closest to where Mountain Highway meets the Trans-Canada. Upper Westlynn is located on both sides of Mountain Highway just south of Lynn Valley Centre. 

Westlynn Terrace is nestled between Hastings Creek and Lynn Canyon Park, south of Ross Rd , with many homes on treed lots sloping toward the Canyon.  Lynn Canyon is located around the end of Lynn Valley Drive (where it meets Dempsey Rd) near the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge and the Lynn Canyon Ecology Centre.
