Mount Richardson Park is north of Sechelt and the village of Tuwanek, with views of Sechelt Inlet, the Sechelt Peninsula, and the town of Sechelt. BC Parks says four-wheel drive access leads toward the mountaintop hiking area and Richardson Lake's rustic campsites.
The park shoreline also includes boat-access campsites within Sechelt Inlet at Oyster Beach, Nine Mile Point, and Tuwanek.
Mount Richardson combines rough mountain access with marine camping and Sechelt Inlet recreation. Visitors can hike toward the summit from an old grown-in logging road or from Richardson Lake, though BC Parks describes the route as a bushwhack in places.
The park also supports swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling, and hunting during open seasons. Its conservation value comes from a functioning ecosystem that includes ocean shoreline, intertidal zone, foreshore, and mountain habitat. Wildlife listed by BC Parks includes black-tailed deer, turkey buzzards, osprey, flying squirrels, eagles, doves, owls, pileated woodpeckers, coyotes, bobcats, martens, cougars, black bear, loons, and snowshoe hare.
Hike or bushwhack toward Mount Richardson, camp at Richardson Lake or boat-access sites, swim without lifeguards, paddle Sechelt Inlet, fish with the proper licence, scuba dive or snorkel, and watch wildlife.
The road to the boundary is very rough, with a steep difficult section; watch for logging trucks and drive with extreme caution. Bring drinking water, as potable water is not available. Boil all stream water, keep pets leashed, and carry marine charts for paddling. BC Parks lists marine chart 3311.
