Nahal Taninim, Nature reserve and river in Haifa District, Israel
The Nahal Taninim extends for 25 kilometers through northern Israel, flowing from Ramot Menashe to the Mediterranean Sea near Ma'agan Michael.
During the Third Crusade period, two knights encountered crocodiles while bathing in the river, leading to its current name Nahal Taninim.
The river holds three distinct water systems: a natural stream, a Roman aqueduct reaching to Caesarea, and the Mifale Menashe water channel.
The nature reserve features marked hiking paths along the riverbank, with designated parking areas and access points for visitors throughout the year.
Ancient Roman engineering remains visible at the site include water regulatory devices, deviation pools, and tunnels that supplied water to ancient Caesarea.
