The Dan River is the most important source of the Jordan River. Dan gets its water from multiple springs emerging from the area along underground fault lines, and by run-off of rain and melted snow from Mount Hermon about 10 miles to the North. It is the largest of the three main sources of the Jordan River, the others being the Banias and Snir Rivers.
The abundance of water in this area is one reason for the establishment of a Canaanite City nearly 5,000 years ago. It’s known in the Old Testament as Laish or Leshem, and it was very large in its day, covering approximately fifty acres.
