Lynn Valley is named after British Royal Engineer John Linn, who settled in the area after 1869.
Lynn Valley is known as a mountain biking, hiking destination, and for easy access to ski hill.
[3] Lynn Canyon Park is home to the spectacular second-growth rainforest and offers a range of hiking trails for all abilities.
These include Shakespeare, Tennyson, William, Chaucer, and Milton as well as many others that weave around the outskirts of Hunter's or Kirkstone Park.
Previously known as "Shaketown", the rugged beginnings of Lynn Valley consisted of shake-sided shakes to accommodate lumberjacks, cooks, blacksmiths, and millwrights who used the lumber during the turn of the 19th century.
