Ga'aton Quarries

In Hebrew: מחצבות געתון

Please note: The water in the quarry is very deep, there is no lifeguard, and the descent is steep. In August 2025, a young man drowned there.

More about the place

Ga'aton Quarry is an abandoned stone quarry near Ga'aton Junction in the Western Galilee, where a green lake formed after groundwater rose and filled the excavated pit. Dirt embankments hide the lake from the road, and you reach it via a short, steep walk from a small parking area, and from there along a trail on the edge of the quarry. Volunteers cleaned up and restored the site, but there is almost no shade.
