Lakes typically contain freshwater, with some exceptions, such as with the Great Salt Lake. Keep in mind that this does NOTmean that the water is drinkable. In fact, some lakes will make you sick if you drink from them. These include the Great Salt Lake, as mentioned before because it has a ridiculously large ratio of salt to water, and many other lakes that are polluted with garbage, toxic waste, bird droppings, etc.
