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!
