Tel Dan Nature Reserve

Entering the Tel Dan Nature Reserve is like stepping into an amazing wonderland - with scores of bubbling brooks and tall treetops that keep the ground shaded and cool, even on a hot summer’s day.

The Dan Stream is the largest and most important source of the Jordan River – some 8.5 cubic meters of water flow though the Dan Spring every second almost 365 days a year! That’s a lot of water!

The Tel Dan Reserve covers only about 120 acres, but thanks to its location and unique environmental conditions, the reserve contains a plethora of plants and animals from a variety of worlds – mammals, amphibians, insects, and fish.

There are four trails in the reserve, one of which is also wheelchair accessible, as well as a lovely area at the entrance of the reserve to enjoy your picnic lunch. There is also a wading pool at the end of the trails, which is very welcome in the summer months!
