Because there is so much salt in it, Dead Sea water is very dense compared with fresh water or ordinary sea water. And because less objects or surface floats in water.
An example of it is a needle, tissue and a tap water.
When you put the needle in the water it will sink because it is denser than the water, but when you use the tissue to let the needle float the density of the needle lesses, and it is called surface tension.

∙ 13y agothere is no outlet so water flows into lake as residue
tributary rivers constantly small amounts of salt dissolved in fresh water flow. Once the great salt lake much of the water evaporates and salt is left behind

Would it be easier to float in great salt lake or lake Michigan?
The Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake has such a high salt concentration that it is easy to float. In fact, the old slogan of the Saltair Resort (a tourist spot at the Great Salt Lake) was "Try to Sink!!"

Why is it easier to float in the Great Salt Lake in Utah then it is in a regular freshwater lake?
Because the water of Great Salt Lake is very dense.

What is the Great Salt Lake?
The Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River. It is all that remains of a prehistoric inland sea. The Great Salt Lake has no natural drainage, and as the water evaporates, the salt remains. As result, the Great Salt Lake is more than seven times salter than the oceans. People can easily float in the dense water.
How dense is The Great Salt Lake?
The Great Salt Lake is so dense, that you may find it hard to sink if you try to swim in it! The Lake is so dense, because tons of salt enter the lake every year, and there's no river for the salt to exit, so the lake stays salty. All the salt pushes you up if you are in the Lake, making you float!
How would the high salinity of great salt lake effect the way objects float in it?
Give a higher density to the water due to the salt content which causes object to float higher.
Is the Great Salt Lake the only Great Salt Lake in the world?
The Great Salt Lake in Utah is the only lake with the name "Great Salt Lake" but it is not the only saltwater lake in the world.
What is unusual about swimming in the Great Salt lake?
The Great Salt Lake has a high concentration of salt in the water. Considering that about 70% of a human body is water (with a very low relative concentration of salt) a human has a relatively low density and that makes a person float while swimming

What is the body of water that is found in Utah?
The Great Salt Lake is located in the northern part of Utah. It is the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Why do you think it's possible to float in the Great Salt Lake and sink in Horsetooth Resvoir?
Percentage salt content effects density and thus buoyancy
