The concentration of salt is significantly higher in the Dead Sea compared to the Great Salt Lake. The Dead Sea has a salinity of around 30% or more, making it one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. In contrast, the Great Salt Lake has a salinity that typically ranges from 5% to 27%, depending on the water levels and evaporation rates. Therefore, the Dead Sea is much saltier than the Great Salt Lake.
The Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake has such a high salt concentration that it is easy to float. In fact, the old slogan of the Saltair Resort (a tourist spot at the Great Salt Lake) was "Try to Sink!!"

The Great Salt Lake has a high concentration of salt in the water. Considering that about 70% of a human body is water (with a very low relative concentration of salt) a human has a relatively low density and that makes a person float while swimming

The Great Salt Lake would freeze at a higher temperature than Lake Tahoe because it has a higher salinity level. The salt in the water lowers the freezing point, making it more resistant to freezing than fresh water.
The Great Salt Lake is very high in salt content, much higher than the ocean in fact.
No, all LAKES are freshwater. OCEANS are saltwater. Lake Michigan is a freshwater lake, but the answer above is false. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Salt_Lake or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake
The Great Salt Lake has salt because it as no outlet, the salt of thousands of years has flowed into the lake. As the water evaporates, it leaves the salt there and it increases in concentration. The Great Lakes do not have salt because they are normal lakes, mostly fed by freshwater mountain streams and rivers, with an outlet to the oceans, so the salt does not increase in levels.
The Great Salt Lake in Utah is the only lake with the name "Great Salt Lake" but it is not the only saltwater lake in the world.
Yes, it is. And it is not the only landlocked body of salt water in the world. The Dead Sea and the Caspian Sea are two others Lake eyer is another in Australia, when it is full it has a very high concentration of salt.
The Great Salt Lake is located in the northern part of Utah. It is the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere.
