Ga'aton Quarry, also known as the "Vanishing Lake of the North" (because it is surrounded by earthen embankments), is a huge quarry near the Ga'aton River in the Western Galilee, which was filled with groundwater that erupted following the excavation and became a beautiful spot.
So to get more details about this amazing place, we asked the Instagram account travily_israel which specializes in beautiful points of interest and photos of travelers to provide us with more information about this disappearing place, which you do not see because of a road.

The quarry, which looks like a large, blue lake, can be reached with an impressive view of the lake next to a good coffee shop, or you can go down to the water line and wade through it, so that it has become a well-known baptismal site. Bathing is forbidden and is the responsibility of the travelers.In
addition, you will find a small pool in the northern part of the quarry, and next to it some ponds that flow on the quarry walls.
