"Incredible place. Golf cart and explore gorgeous streams and greenery. Toilets along route. Takes about 1-1.5h to cover. Just extremely poor management regarding opening during a local marathon, it was decided post marathon that they just simply did not open - groups of us, including a tour bus were left hanging and contemplating if they would open, they did not. We had to return the next day to see the place."

"One of the dirtiest natural park I've seen in my life. Junk everywhere and not even one bin along the path to throw your trash.. It's sad because it's a beautiful place but the amount of dirtiness really takes the fun away. And be aware that there is very loud music in every corner of the park."

"We had a fun day and our young kids thought this place was amazing. There is a good variety of places to go and the golf buggies were really fun. Overall we would go back.

However it’s all slightly spoiled by how dirty it is in places. Even our kids were upset by the level of litter everywhere which really takes away from the beauty of the site. Particularly in the very busy spots there was lots of rubbish in the trees and bushes by the water, cups floating down the river alongside you, glass on the floor and in places where there is less natural flow to the water, it looked too dirty to swim in. The section that’s a national parks authority run reserve (Hakibbutzim Stream Reserve wet trail) is noticeably cleaner and better set up than the other pools and streams.

We went on a hot August day in the school holidays so it was very busy and I think it would have been overall much nicer on a quieter day. There were people at two of the main spots who were playing loud music as well which spoils the tranquility. It’s definitely a very popular attraction for lots of visitors.

I couldn’t find much info about the set up there so hopefully this will be helpful for others thinking of visiting:
- entrance is round the back of Gan Hashlosha - turn right at the roundabout before the Gan Hashlosha checkpoint. Big car park
- golf carts are great but pricey. If you want to see it all and swim then you need to rent for a full day which for 6 seater is 690NIS
- you can walk in for free and it is possible to walk to the Hakibbutzim wet trail by walking I think less than 1km. All other sites are a decent walk away so you need transport when it’s hot
- the main stopping points are a mix of pools formed by springs, walking through shallow streams and floating down deeper rivers
- you can walk from the first spring Ein Shokek to the old mill pool through the stream which is really beautiful and my favourite part (around 400m)
- there are toilets along the way but they are portaloos and incredibly hot and stinky in the summer!
- only drinks for sale are at the beginning and ein Moda the furthest point
- there are no water fountains on the route or at the entrance so you need to bring your own.
- the Hakibbutzim wet route is fairly deep and wide so great for floating down in an inflatable. There is a bridge with a ‘slide’ - a large pipe from one side to the other though it’s pretty slimey inside!
- Ein Shokek and Ein Moda were incredibly busy points. The mill pool was much quieter

Note that many photos people post (particularly of a large waterfall) are from Gan Hashlosha next door. Overall Gan Hashlosha is far more beautiful, however this place was a fun trip for some variety."
