Richardson Lake is an alpine lake you pass on the way up Mount Richardson. It is a great point before the steeper push toward the summit to stop and regroup. The lake has dark, reflective water framed by cedar, fir, and hemlock forests. It’s not a destination lake for swimming or camping, but rather a peaceful stop.
