Alexander, River and national park at Sharon Plain, Israel
The Alexander is a river that flows from mountains toward the Mediterranean coast, passing through farmland and protected natural areas. The adjacent parkland features multiple trails and viewpoints where visitors can explore the landscape.
The river formed naturally in the region and has been inhabited and used by people across centuries. In recent times, conservation efforts have brought renewed focus to its ecological role and protection.
The riverbanks hold traces of ancient settlements that shaped how people once moved goods and traveled through the region. Walking along the water today, you can still sense the historical importance of this waterway to local communities.
Access is easiest by car or public transit, with parking available near the main entrances. The best time for walking is in the morning or late afternoon when temperatures are more comfortable.
The area is home to a remarkable population of large soft-shelled turtles that live in the river sections. These reptiles are specially adapted to the water and are rarely spotted by visitors.
