Misgav resembles a typical Israeli suburb surrounding a large city, except for the fact that it is spread out over an area of 50,000 acres (200 km²) with a population of just 15,000 including 4,500 Bedouin Arabs.

Like the suburbs, the area houses most families in detached, one-family homes surrounded by yards, and the majority of adults drive to work in the urban centers every day while the children are bused to the local schools.

This cooperation can be shown by the fact that the region is the location of one of the country's first dual language (Arab-Hebrew) educational institutions, the Galil Jewish-Arab School.

The Misgav Regional Council is a partner in the program, with special emphasis on Lavon, Har Halutz, Moreshet, Eshchar, Shorashim, Manof, and Tal El.

The 35-kilometer path passes through Karmiel, the Hilazon Riverbed Channel Junction, the olive and avocado groves of Moshav Yodfat, the Bedouin village of Sha'ab and the Hirbat Rosh Zit ruins.

In December 2009, Haaretz reported that the planning committee of the Misgav Local Council turned down the request of an Arab resident to build on land he owned in Mitzpe Kamon.
