The Lagoon at Dan and HaMechalek at Dafna

In Hebrew: הלגונה בדן והמחלק בדפנה

Please note: The water at HaMechalek is very deep and cold, and the spot is close to the Lebanese border. HaMechalek is on the private property of Kibbutz Dafna, and it has been reported that the gate is locked. It isn't clear to us whether the lagoon is open for swimming. It's worth checking before heading out.

More about the place

HaMechalek and the Lagoon are two swimming spots on Nahal Dan, between Kibbutz Dan and Kibbutz Dafna, less than a kilometer apart from each other. HaMechalek is a concrete structure that splits the stream into two arms, with a short concrete slide you use to enter the cold, deep water. It is tucked away among reed and blackberry bushes, right by the avocado orchards north of Dafna. The Lagoon, further upstream, is a swimming hole where you can swim, and it usually gets a lot of visitors.
