Of the three major tributaries which feed the Yarden, the Snir is the furthest to the west and is the longest of them all. It has fabulous scenery with tiny waterfalls, strong powerful streams, brilliant blossoms and makes for a great hike. You'll have to walk at its side since the waters themselves are far to strong to swim in. It's fed by little rivulets which join it during its journey south. Dozens of eastern plane trees and willows (Arovos) line its bank, so you'll be walking in the shade. Toward the end, the water splits into two rushing streams and this is the perfect place to go in for a refreshing swim.
