Twenty-one percent of the fresh water on Earth's surface is liquid. Most of this water is in rivers and lakes. Thousands of freshwater rivers cross Earth's surface. The water in a river starts out as a trickle of water high in the mountains. As other trickles join it, the water becomes a river that flows into the ocean. Most lakes hold fresh water. A lake is a small to medium-sized body of water surrounded by land. Some lakes,such as Mono Lake in California,contain salt water. Saltwater lakes lose water rapidly through evaporation.

How can a lake be a salt water lake?
There is a channel....a opening where the salt water can enter An inland lake can also be salty if mineral deposits under the lake contain salt, or the lake has only inflowing water and no out-flowing water. Overtime the inflow will bring minerals into the lake, without a way for the water to exit the lake, the waters of the lake will evaporate naturally, leaving the deposited minerals, increasing the water's salinity.
