Lake Ram
Top 3 in Top 4 Best Lakes to Visit in Israel
A reservoir called Lake Ram or Birket Ram was created in an old volcanic crater. The freshwater streams that flowed down from Mount Hermon created a lake that is more akin to a pond than a lake. It provides water to the nearby communities. With many apple and peach trees nearby, this Golan Heights location makes a lovely picnic spot in the spring.
The area surrounding the lake is considered an archaeological site, with early bronze-age artifacts, excavated. However, there are numerous activities to enjoy near the lake, such as the bamboo park, which serves as a camping site, and the Nimrod fortress. From here, one can even hike up to the Banias waterfall.
