Which is saltier the Dead Sea or the great Salt Lake?
It is the Dead Sea. It's so salty, that you can float with no effort on it. If you have any open cuts, well, let's say it won't exactly tickle. Plus the reason you can float is because the salt in it makes the water denser the more salt it has the denser it is! Also the denser the water the closer to the bottom it will be! Aidan and Kyle

What is the saltiest body of water in the United States?
It would be the Great Salt Lake of UtahThe Great Salt Lake is a remnant of a much larger prehistoric lake called Lake Bonneville which, at its peak surface area, was nearly as large as Lake Michigan. It spanned 22,400 square miles , which is roughly ten times the area of the Great Salt Lake. It was also much deeper, reaching 923 ft (281 m) at its deepest point. It covered much of present-day Utah and small portions of Idaho and Nevada during the Pleistocene Epoch, more commonly known as the Great Ice Age, between 32,000 and 14,000 years ago. Lake Bonneville existed until about 16,800 years ago, when a large portion of the lake was released through the Red Rock Pass in Idaho. With the change in climate, the remaining lake began drying up, leaving the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, Sevier Lake, and Rush Lake as remnants.

Where is the largest freshwater lake?
The Caspian is the world's largest lake. The Black Sea is also huge. It's a bit unclear what is a sea and what is a lake. Generally an inland body of water that has a direct, somewhat open connection to the oceans is a sea. Now the Great Lakes always had a connection to the Atlantic via the St Lawrence River but until the Seaway was constructed the route was not fully accessible to marine vessels. Is the Caspian freshwater? It is saltier than a typical lake but it is much less salty than the oceans.
