Monfort Lake, Lake and park in Ma'alot-Tarshiha, Israel
Monfort Lake stretches across the eastern part of Ma'alot-Tarshiha with swimming areas and walking paths along its edges. The site features green spaces and different zones designed for various outdoor activities that appeal to visitors of all ages.
The water started as Hosen Reservoir before being transformed into the heart of Ma'alot-Tarshiha. This change happened after the city was founded in 1963 and shaped how the community developed from that point forward.
The lake appears on the city's official emblem, showing how important water resources have been to Ma'alot-Tarshiha's growth. Residents view it as a symbol of community identity and gather here regularly for relaxation and everyday social activities.
Access is easy with parking near the lake and marked areas for picnics and relaxation. Visitors should plan their trips for warmer days if they want to swim and should bring appropriate gear and supplies.
International art exhibitions take place near the lake regularly, turning the site into an open-air gallery. This blend of nature and artworks makes a visit here a distinctive experience in northern Israel.
