    Just getting there on the dirt road was an adventure. A nice walk around the lake. Several shaded stops. No entry fee. You can also rent bikes. (I wish you could add videos to these reviews.)

    A nice park, free to visit. Many birds and animals, so take your binoculars if you have them.

  • 5/5 Christiane D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to watch birds, with an interesting flora. About 2 km long, very easy walking route with walking paths, bridges and sheds for bird watching. Telephoto lens recommended! Nearby thereโ€™s a cow barn with curious little calves. The drive to and from Agamon Heffer can be quite a challenge after much rain. You can find mobile toilets in the parking area.

    Cool birds view place to spend a couple of hours. Great for birds photographers because of the hidden photography spots. Nice nice viewpoint to catch the sunset in its best. The wide agriculture territories around give a perfect background and atmosphere

  • 2/5 talia s. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad road to drive there. Lots of people and the parking was a nightmare. People parked on the side lines and in the end, it became only one lane. Nobody going in and nobody going out. It took almost an hour to get out of there. The place is nice to walk around but not a lot to see if it's not bird season. Waste of time as far as I'm concerned. There are a lot better places that are more organized to visit.

    An off the beaten track attraction. Smaller and less touristic version of Agamon HaHula in the North. Many different lookouts around the lake to see the migrating birds. Tip: come early morning or at sunset. No shade on the paths around. There are shaded picnic tables before you get to the parking area, coming from Route 4.

  • 4/5 Ori G. 2 years ago on Google
    A nice natural reserve that aims to revive Alexander stream and restore the natural fauna and flora disturbed by historical ongoing pollution (coming from the upstream Palestinian authority villages. The circular trail is suitable even for baby strollers, and along the way there are about 6 birds watch shades

    a lovely place for a saturday morning trip, by car, bicycle or by foot

  • 5/5 Amnon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice quiet small piece of nature.

  • 1/5 Andy E. 1 year ago on Google
    As people above have said, terrible road, no shade, and thousands and thousands of people, that are not justified by what is an average size and not particularly pretty fishing pond. Definitely not suitable to visit on a nice Saturday or holiday, maybe if you can come when it's quiet it might be alright but no more than that.

  • 4/5 Shlomo F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice! Plan the right time to visit - early in the morning or dusk, so you get to see the birds

  • 5/5 D S. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a lovely and relaxing hike, fit for the whole family, strollers friendly!

  • 5/5 Shay W. 4 years ago on Google
    Great activity with the kids on Saturday morning. Make sure you understand how to get there. A Crossover or 4x4 is preferred in order to get there.

  • 5/5 Eyal M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place to visit

  • 5/5 Sport C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for bird watching. Very suitable for bicycling.

  • 5/5 Arnon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice artificial lake, attracts water birds and local wildlife. There is a walking path circling the lake with birdwatching sheds, allowing people to hide and wait for the birds to get closer. Arriving at winter time might be tricky as the road may get muddy with some deep puddles.

Bird watching area
๐Ÿ‘ Great location to watch the birds. Though it takes 3 km walk from the nearby bus stop. Better if you have a vehicle. Beautiful birds.. I went yesterday, there are still many birds.

Zoo
๐Ÿ‘ Wonderful visit with children. Plenty of animals to pet and see. The tractor ride is super. Place to rest and picnic. I gave four stars and not five as it is pricey. It would be fair to include the tractor ride in the entrance ticket.
