There are many family-type activities to do here. The main attraction for children is a large pool with gently flowing water that drives a large paddled waterwheel of a reconstructed flour mill. There is also a waterfall in which kids can get wet. There are plenty of shaded picnic benches. There is fishing and kayaking and a play area with slides and swings. Biking is permitted on all the paths - but there are no rentals so bring your own bikes. There are also night nature activities for families. For information about this call 050 691-2481.

 

There are a number of circular paths for walking. These are described in the brochure and are clearly marked. Three out of the four begin by the bridge by the pool.

 

The yellow trail includes two sections in which one can either wade through the water or walk on the path by the side of the stream. The water is adult ankle-deep. The first brief section in the water is just after crossing the bridge by the start of the hike. The second section in water is towards the end of the hike by a bridge and just before its joins up with the blue trail. The stream bed is fairly smooth and you should not trip. Much of the walk does not offer views because of the dense vegetation. The trail is about 2.2 Km and takes about 1½ hours. The water part takes about 20 minutes.

 

The blue trail is 1.8 Km, takes about 1½ hours, and provides views over the Jordan River and ruins of the watermills.

​

The red trail is by the streams of the Jordan River and also passes the ruins of watermills. It takes about 40 minutes.

 

You can also walk over or take your car to the parking area for the Bethsaida Trail, which leads to the ruins of Bethsaida. The first part of this trail is circular, is directed towards Christian visitors, and takes about 25 minutes. You can also do the entire trail, which is about 2 Km and takes about 45 minutes. It is not circular and you will need to return along the same path to wherever your car or family is located.
