The Yarkon River trail, which weaves along Route 5, a major highway crossing Samaria, features underpasses that accommodate both the trail and agricultural machinery. These underpasses allow for seamless passage beneath the roadway. The concrete walls of these underpasses have become informal canvases for graffiti artists. While this practice isn't officially sanctioned, there haven't been significant measures taken against the graffiti, making these underpasses unique spots of spontaneous urban art along the trail.
Hiking along the Yarkon River in central Israel, from Petah Tikva to the old railway station in Rosh HaAyin, offers a picturesque and historically rich experience. This trail winds through scenic fields and orange groves, unveiling unique moments of both history and nature. Key attractions along the route include old mills, the concrete house, Kfar Baptistim, and two national parks: the Yarkon River Sources and Tel Afek Antipatris. Along the trail, there are two rest areas for hikers to relax and enjoy the region's inspiring natural beauty and captivating stories.
