How to get to the cache:
After turning from Route 71 onto the road leading to Gani Huga, drive until you reach the sign pointing to the Bazalat canyon (Kenyon ha bazelet in hebrew) parking lot
Why are you here:
The Harod Stream flows for about 31 kilometers from Givat HaMoreh through the Harod Valley and Beit Shean Valley before entering the Jordan River about two kilometers north of Ma'oz Haim. The Harod Valley drains mainly through this route. The drainage basin is 180 km2.
In 2002, a steel bridge was built connecting the two banks of the river, where pedestrian paths were paved and shaded seating areas were constructed. From the bridge, you can view the nearby waterfall that flows year-round, but during winter the flow is particularly impressive. Waterfowl and migratory birds can sometimes be seen in the park depending on the season. The streamside vegetation included Tamarix, Ziziphus, Palms, Sticky fleabane, Common Reed, and others that were capable of dealing with the high salinity of the stream's water.
