Introduction
Mount Richmond Forest Park, the rugged backcountry south of Nelson, covers about 180,000 hectares — one of the largest forest parks in the north of the South Island. Beech forest, granite peaks and clear streams define it, with trails from easy riverside walks to multi-day mountain crossings of the Richmond Ranges; hunters, trampers and birders love it, and it links classic South Island tracks.
