Some lakes, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah, are salty. The Great Lakes are freshwater because there is no source of salt to supply them.
It's just salty
The Great Lakes have an outlet: The Saint Lawrence. The reason why most lakes are not salty is because they have an outlet so the minerals do not accumulate. On top of that, they are well above sea level, so there is no chance of saltwater intrusion.

Why rift valley lakes salty
These lakes tend to be salty, as minerals are constantly carried into them by incoming water.
The great salt lake is salty because there's no outlet so the lakes that run in it just build it up like when rocks go in the great salt lake the minerals come off and make it salty!!!!!
Most lakes are fresh water, though some lakes are saline. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is saltier than the ocean, as is Salton Sea in southern California and the Dead Sea in the middle east (the Dead Sea is nearly ten times more salty than the ocean).
Deserts can have fresh water but some of lakes that are salty, very salty.
Lakes become salty if the source of water flowing into the lake contains salt and the salty water cannot flow out of the lake. Salt lakes are endorheic, water leaves the lake by evaporation and leaves the salt and minerals in the remaining water.
