The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. It is located near Salt Lake City, Utah, and is a landlocked remnant of ancient Lake Bonneville. The Great Salt Lake is a natural recreation site and one of the most asked-about tourist attractions in Utah. The water in the Great Salt Lake is high in salt and dense, making it difficult for swimmers to swim. However, people can float easily because the water is freshwater and has a high salt content. The lake's smell and bugs are a hassle for some people. Swimmers can enjoy a swim if they get to the southern part of the lake. After swimming in the lake, people should rinse off in the showers to avoid getting sick.
