Nakhal Kziv Reserve — Attraction in Mate Asher Regional Council

Why 3 stars? I wrote my complaint at the end marked with *?

A nice and easy hike. Good for kids and family.

You can do the whole trail in the water, the water is mostly shallow, it gets as deep as 60CM tops but only in a couple of spots.

You can do the trail by dry land, but there are parts that you still have to go in the water.

Walking in the water is great and refreshing, make sure you have thick bottomed shoes because the rocks will hurt your feet otherwise. Also make sure to have steady and firm footholds so you don't slip which is not nice.

Parking is available for free, you can park on the side of the road or drive up to the gate, there is a parking lot there.

The road leading to the hike is very narrow so drive slow and be weary of other cars.

*? The reason why this place got 3 stars is because of the people, not all the people but those who don't comply with the rules (NO DOGS ALLOWED!!) It's like the sign wasn't there, the majority had their dogs with them, i saw all types of dogs, from big to tiny.

Nobody likes to hike and have a dog bark at them or try to attack them because the dog thinks you are a threat to their owner. It was awful, and ruined the experience.

I think it's better to visit on weekdays, fewer people will be there hence fewer dogs.

I think a guard should be employed, and not let people with their dogs in.

That's...

One of the best trails I've been to in Israel. It's great for the hot summer days, as it is fully shaded same the entire trail is in the stream. Takes about 1h-1.5h total, and it's not accessible in any way. Recommended to people who have good balance, as the walk gets slippery in parts. I visited with a party of 13, the younger bring 7 years old and the older about 70, and everyone had lots of fun. The older members needed a bit of help and hand holding, but they still ended up having tons of fun. Once you reach the end of the trail there's a large water pool to soak your entire body in and relax... There are also lots of spots along the way that are perfect to take a break and have a sip of water.

The way into the trail, with the car, is extremely bumpy and dented, so take into consideration driving very slowly and probably not recommended...

This is one of the the few places in Israel without cellular coverage; neither in the reserve or on the roads leading up to it. No entry fee. You can strip off and relax in the cold water. Get there early on popular days otherwise you will have to navigate a traffic jam along the narrow access road to the parking.
