Edgemont Real Estate & Homes For Sale

Capilano River Regional Park features lush trails and breathtaking views, creating an unforgettable backdrop for hiking, walking, or tail running. The Capilano River, fed by the Cleveland Dam, runs through the park and can rush at over 413,000 litres per second, moving faster than 21 km/hr! While the park is safe for visitors, it’s important to respect the river’s power as you explore its beauty from the park’s scenic trails.

The Cleveland Dam, built in 1954, holds back Capilano Lake. This 670-acre lake is a critical source of fresh drinking water for homes in the Lower Mainland, including Edgemont real estate. Situated atop the Capilano River, Cleveland Dam offers breathtaking lake views, with the majestic Lions peaks in the background. The spillway, nearly 300 feet high, is also an impressive sight, especially after heavy rains. Visitors can explore the dam and the surrounding Capilano River Regional Park or hike along the Capilano-Pacific Trail, which runs from Capilano Lake to Ambleside Park.

The Capilano Salmon Hatchery in Capilano River Regional Park is a fantastic (and FREE!) place to learn about native salmon and their life cycle. Visitors can embark on a self-guided tour and get a close-up look at these fish as they develop from eggs to juveniles before they are released into the river. Depending on the time of year, you may be able to watch juvenile salmon in the aquarium or see mature salmon navigating the fish ladders – jumping from pool to pool. The hatchery is an exciting experience for all ages and is one of our favourite activities in Edgemont!

Grouse Mountain is an iconic year-round destination for outdoor adventure. Standing 1,250 meters (or 4,100 feet) above Vancouver, Grouse Mountain offers snow sports in the winter, including skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing, and activities like hiking and wildlife encounters (at the Wildlife Refuge) in the summer, spring and fall. Grouse Mountain is a beloved destination where many local children, including all of our children, have their first skiing adventure! The mountain is also home to Skyride – a thrilling 8-minute tram ride that provides breathtaking views of Vancouver and the surrounding North Shore.

At the foot of Grouse Mountain, adventurers can embark on several iconic hikes – the world-famous Grouse Grind, the historical BCMC Trail, and the expansive Baden Powell Trail.

• The Grouse Grind, often called “Mother Nature’s Stairmaster,” tests endurance with its 2.5 km (1.55-mile) 800 meter (2,624 feet) ascent that includes 2,830 steps!

• For those seeking a less intense (and often quieter) path, the BCMC Trail traces a legacy route up Grouse Mountain, once used by the BC Mountaineering Club.

• Finally, the Baden Powell Trail is one of our favourite hikes in Edgemont! This 48-km trail connects Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay, offering a scenic journey across the North Shore.

First constructed in 1889, the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is a must-see attraction for both Edgemont real estate owners and visitors. Suspended 70 meters (230 feet) above the Capilano River, the bridge spans 137 meters (450 feet), offering stunning views of the river and surrounding old-growth forest. In addition to the suspension bridge, park visitors can experience several other sights and activities, including First Nations totem poles, Treetops Adventure (a series of suspension bridges high in the forest canopy), Cliffwalk (a narrow walkway clinging to the granite cliffs), guided nature tours, family-friendly programs, and more.
