About This Spring

## Overview Weymouth Spring is a well-known dual-pipe public drinking spring located along Highway 1 (Route 1) in Weymouth, Nova Scotia. Situated in front of the Jones Bottling Company, this roadside spring has long been a favorite stop for locals and travelers passing through the Digby County area. The generous owner of the bottling company has shared that the spring water is run-off from the bottling operation, meaning it flows from the same source used commercially. Visitors consistently describe the water as refreshingly cold and crystal clear. The spring flows year-round and is always accessible, making it a reliable stop no matter the season. Its convenient roadside location — right along Route 1 — means you can pull over and fill containers with ease, and some visitors have noted you can even fill a jug right from your car window. ## Directions 1. From Digby, head south on Route 101. 2. Take the exit onto **Route 1** toward Weymouth. This stretch of Route 1 is locally known as the **8-Mile Loop**. 3. Continue along Route 1 heading toward Weymouth. 4. Watch the **left side** of the road — the spring is located in front of the **Jones Bottling Company**, near the address 4970–4972 Highway 1. 5. The dual-pipe spring is clearly visible from the road and is hard to miss. There is room to pull over and fill containers directly from the pipes. ## What to Expect Weymouth Spring features two pipes that deliver a steady flow of cold, clear water. The spring is right at the roadside, so access is effortless — no hiking or trail navigation required. The Jones Bottling Company building serves as a helpful landmark; once you spot it, you've found the spring. Because the spring runs continuously and is open at all hours, it's a convenient stop whether you're on a morning drive through the Annapolis Valley region or passing through Weymouth on a longer Nova Scotia road trip. The water has been reported by visitors to taste clean and refreshing, and locals have relied on it as a drinking water source for years. As with any natural or roadside spring, visitors may wish to use their own discretion regarding water consumption. The surrounding area of Weymouth and Digby County offers beautiful coastal scenery, Acadian cultural heritage, and easy access to the Bay of Fundy, making this spring a worthwhile stop on a broader exploration of southwestern Nova Scotia.
