Lumsden sits at a northern Southland crossroads on the elbow of the Ōreti River, roughly halfway between Invercargill and Queenstown on State Highway 6. Goldminers first knew it as The Elbow for the river's sharp turn, and for nearly a century railway lines ran out of town in all four directions before the last closed in 1982. The restored 1878 station now serves as the visitor centre and heritage rail display, and the town is a key staging point on the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail that follows the old line and the trout-rich Ōreti.
