About Dick Murphy Park
Driving down Spit Road in Campbell River brings you to a distinct finger of land where the waterway meets the ocean. This public reserve occupies a prime section of the Tyee Spit. On one side, the calm estuary waters reflect the surrounding mountains, while the opposite shore faces the active marine traffic of Discovery Passage.
Walkers frequent the gravel pathways that trace the shoreline at Dick Murphy Park. The grassy expanse is bordered by coastal vegetation and scattered driftwood. Floatplanes regularly take off and land nearby, adding a mechanical hum to the outdoor environment.
The grounds remain open daily from 6:00 AM until 10:00 PM. People often bring a coffee to watch the morning fog lift off the water or stay late to observe the fading light over the coastal mountains.
