Gan Ha-Shlosha National Park (Hebrew: גן השלושה; Arabic: الساخنة) is located between kibbutzim Beit Alfa and Nir David, near Beit She’an. It has natural hot water, which remains constant throughout the year at a temperature of 28 ºC (82.4 ºF). The water emerges in the western part of the park, at the foot of Mount Gilboa, and the Amal stream leads it to two large interconnected pools where visitors can take a bath. The park is home to the Museum of Regional and Mediterranean Archeology, a display of rare Greek tools and artifacts from excavations in the Beit She’an Valley, and an old, restored Ottoman flour mill.
