Gan HaShlosha — universally known by its Arabic name Sakhne, meaning "the hot pool" — is one of the most visited natural parks in Israel, and for good reason. Natural springs feed a series of shallow pools and channels at a constant 28°C year-round, running through dense plantings of eucalyptus and date palm beside the Amal Stream.
The park covers about 13 hectares and includes the pools themselves, a small waterfall, a lawn area, and an archaeological museum with finds from a nearby Bronze Age site. The water is clear and the setting surprisingly lush given the surrounding semi-arid landscape. On weekdays outside summer it can be peaceful; on summer weekends it fills with Israeli families, so come early or midweek if you want space to yourself.
Sakhne is about 6 km west of Beit Shean — easy on a bicycle, a short drive, or reachable by local bus. It makes a natural pairing with the Roman ruins: archaeology in the morning, a swim in the afternoon.
