The Great Salt Lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River. It is all that remains of a prehistoric inland sea. The Great Salt Lake has no natural drainage, and as the water evaporates, the salt remains. As result, the Great Salt Lake is more than seven times salter than the oceans. People can easily float in the dense water.
