Broken River Cave is a 362-meter-long cave in New Zealand, located on Arthur's Pass Road from Christchurch on the west coast. It is 40 km from Arthur's Pass and from Christchurch.
The river takes a shortcut under a hill. A sign outside the cave reads "Cave Stream Reserve".
In summer when the water is warmer and lower it is a rather interesting and popular spot to spelunker, however in spring and during heavy rains, it can be rather dangerous. There have been at least two deaths in the cave due to drowning and hypothermia.
