Springs Junction

Few settlements on the West Coast have a history as closely tied to overland routes between Canterbury and the coast as Springs Junction. This small roadside locality lies beside the Maruia River, where State Highway 7, following the Lewis Pass corridor, meets State Highway 65 towards Murchison. Beech forest, river flats and mountain terrain define the surrounding inland country. Lewis Pass is one of the South Island’s three principal road crossings of the Southern Alps, giving Springs Junction a practical role in travel between the east and west.
