A trip to Sharon Park

A light trail in the heart of the blossoming HaSharon region, which combines remnants of the Coastal Plains with the oldest eucalyptus forest in Israel. Peddle calmly in a forest of carob trees and green grassy areas with both a wonderful winter and spring bloom. The trail is level and comfortable and allows novice riders to enjoy riding in the open and flourishing areas of the park.
