It actually depends! For example, most are. Like Lake Ontario and Lake Michigan.

There are many non-fresh water lakes, for example just in California there are alkaline lakes, like Honey Lake, Goose Lake, and the Salton Sea is technically a lake.

Alkaline lakes contain a high concentration of dissolved salts. These lakes are found in arid or semiarid regions and have no outlet to the sea. Alkaline lakes may also be known as saline lakes. Alkaline lakes are found on six continents and include the world's largest lake, the Caspian Sea.
