Located in beautiful\u00a0northern Israel<\/a>\u00a0and the Upper Galilee<\/a>\u00a0just across from Kibbutz Hagoshrim,\u00a0Nahal Snir is the largest of three tributaries feeding the Jordan River<\/a> and is considered to be one of the top 10 water hikes in Israel. The entire waterway is actually over 65 km. long but only a small segment is actually in Israel and the remainder in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n Lisa recently spent the day there with her family biking along the Senir stream and we are very eager to share her story and pictures with you.<\/p>\n You can actually choose to hike or bike along the stream. If hiking is your preference, there are actually three very well established looping trails. Some will take you through water so be prepared:<\/p>\n No matter which path you choose, they all offer an abundance of things to see. So many colorful native plants and natural formations to admire and photograph depending on the season. The sound of the rushing water itself and the shady trail offers a tranquil and welcome respite.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button admin_label=”Request Private Guide Button” button_url=”https:\/\/israel-travel-secrets.com\/nahal-snir-nature-reserve\/#form36″ url_new_window=”off” button_text=”REQUEST PRIVATE GUIDE” button_alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” disabled_on=”off||” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”#3f9f3f” button_border_width=”0″ button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_use_icon=”default” button_icon=”%%18%%” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ disabled=”off” saved_tabs=”all”] [\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text admin_label=”Nahal Snir Nature Reserve” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” border_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n Lisa and her family decided to try the biking trail and it was really great fun. They\u00a0rented their bikes from Bikesplace in Bet Hillel, a small family business with a top end bike shop and bike rentals. The owners Simcha and Assaf, a father and son outfit are very friendly and helpful fitting each person with the perfect bike.<\/p>\n The bikes, which are mostly mountain bikes are in excellent condition. They had a six year old with them which means he got the smallest size bike handling it very well on the route. If you have a baby with you, then they also offer two wheeled chariots that hook onto the back of the bike that you can safely strap your baby or toddler into.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”Gallery – slider” gallery_ids=”25554,25555,25552″ fullwidth=”on” posts_number=”3″ show_title_and_caption=”on” show_pagination=”on” background_layout=”dark” auto=”on” auto_speed=”3000″ caption_all_caps=”off” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)”] [\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Nahal Snir Nature Reserve” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” border_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n Simcha, the owner of Bikesplace will give you a trail map and explain the routes to you.<\/p>\n You can choose to take the route south along the river or north. Lisa and family headed off north along the path.\u00a0The whole route is under a canopy of trees, so they cycled in the shade the entire time. The path is not paved in most areas but clear of debris and trees. I would plan on about 2-3 hours depending on how many stops you make and the ages of the riders.<\/p>\n Of course, you can make it an entire day if you stop for a picnic lunch. There is a restaurant along the trail called Dag al HaDan or Fish on the Dan River. I have not tried it but i am sure this would be a tasty option as well.<\/p>\n To cool off along the way, they stopped 2-3 times \u00a0to take a refreshing dip in the very cold Snir Stream.<\/p>\n Other great water hikes in Israel:<\/strong><\/p>\n One closing piece of advice:<\/b> Try to avoid driving south on Saturday nights, the traffic can be severe as people often take trips to the north over the weekends.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Gravity Form – Israel day trips” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”center” module_id=”form36″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” global_module=”4059″ saved_tabs=”all”] \n
