What must a lake have to be a freshwater lake?

There is salt in every lake, river and stream in the hydrosphere. But the water in a lake is still freshwater because the concentration of the salt in most freshwater is extremely low, so it isn't noticable. Most lakes rivers and streams exchange water with other sources, and they also receive surface runoff, and groundwater flow, so the water is constantly being diluted. So a lake must either receive groudwater flow or surface runoff to contain freshwater.

Not really. Unlike places that are near the ocean, Salt Lake City's air doesn't contain the salt that corrodes metal. This is because the air is so dry that the water from the Great Salt Lake doesn't really evaporate into the air and hover there like it does in coastal cities.
