Every so often, Raquel and I go on a day trip to explore new and interesting places and attractions. I had heard about the Hadera stream and the city of Hadera's project along with Keren Kayemet L'Yisrael and the Electric Company, to rehabilitate the polluted stream. I honestly, wasn't expecting to walk away from the trip all that excited, but the newly rejuvenated grounds surrounding the stream are lovely; equipped with picnic tables and benches, a fountain that pumps sea water into the stream, and a beautiful wooden promenade. There is something magical about watching the stream run into the sea. In fact, this is the actual location that inspired the songwriter Natan Yonatan to compose the famous song "Chofim, Haim Lifamim," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LacSJOqvCyM&feature=player_embedded which describes the sea's feelings of abandonment from the stream that doesn't come to meet it. Fortunately for us, the sea and stream have now reunited.
Nahal Hadera Park is a lovely picnic spot if you're in the Caesaria/Hadera area.
From Hwy 2, exit at the Giavat Olga junction. Continue West toward the sea. Make your first Right and continue 2 Km. on a paved road to the edge of the stream. Make a Right and continue on to the parking lot.
