Goren Park, Nature park in Upper Galilee, Israel.
Goren Park covers about 2,000 dunams near Moshav Goren and Kibbutz Eilon in the Upper Galilee, within a natural woodland of more than 30,000 dunams. Common oak dominates the forest, alongside trees such as bay laurel, Palestine oak, strawberry tree and buckthorn. The park overlooks the steep Kziv Stream gorge and Montfort Fortress from the Montfort lookout.
The park is maintained by KKL-JNF, which prunes the vegetation and upkeeps the drinking fountains, toilets, picnic tables, signage and marked trails. Near the Ein Zaytim parking area lie the remains of Metzad Ein Tamir, a fortress from the Middle Bronze Age. Entry is free all year.
The park contains observation points offering views of the medieval Montfort Fortress, which stands as evidence of Crusader presence in the region.
The park is reached from Route 899, turning south near Moshav Goren, or via the narrow scenic road from Avdon that enters near the Montfort lookout. Entry is free all year. KKL-JNF maintains the picnic tables, drinking-water facilities, toilets and signage, and a night camping area allows sleeping outdoors.
