Prospect Point- Stanley Park - Scenic Roadside Look-Outs on Waymarking.com

Stanley Park is Vancouver’s most visited tourist attraction with over 8 million visitors every year. The Prospect Point Lookout in Stanley Park is Vancouver’s oldest and most visited tourist attraction. It sits at the highest point in Stanley Park, perched high up on the volcanic rock that was once called Prospect Bluff or Calamity Point. Looking out onto Vancouver’s coveted gateway, the First Narrows, also knows as the Lions Gate, this famous panorama evolved from a native first nations lookout point designed to spot threatening intruders, to Vancouver’s first Signal Station which regulated all of Vancouver’s early shipping activity in and out of the harbour.
Today, Prospect Point is still Vancouver’s favourite lookout panorama with breathtaking views of the North Shore mountains, the Lions Gate Bridge, the Burrard Inlet and on a clear day, Vancouver Island and Mount Baker. You can also enjoy bicycle and walking trails, including the Lions Gate trail that leads you over one of the world’s longest suspension bridges and maybe even see some native Indian (first nations) carving demonstrations.
The December 14, 2006 windstorm did a tremendous amount of damage to Stanley Park and Prospect Point was one of the worst hit areas.
Amenities include a Cafe (Propect Point Cafe), which includes both a full-service restaurant, along with a gourmet marketplace self-serve and various take-out concessions including World famous Prospect Point ice cream, in particular Canadian Maple Walnut. Additionally, the complex houses Stanley Park’s original Trading Post and Gift Shop.
WARNING: Do not feed or encourage the racoons. They are very bold and have been known to chase tourists...seriously.
