About This Spring

From the start of Johnstone Road the Spring is 1.2 km down the road on the right hand side. Approximately 100 feet before address 384 Johnstone. There is a small pullover right at the Spring where you can park. It is right on the side of the road and coming out of a pipe in the rock. Easy to access.

We got all our water here for a few months. It tasted a little green and had some floating debris but we always felt fine and noticed no problem with the water.

It flows strong, continuous, and cold.

About a 5 minute drive from downtown Nelson.

Gratitude for Good Water.

FindASpring Team Update:

As of 2025, Johnstone Road Spring is confirmed to be closed off from the public
