3. Great Salt Lake State Park

The largest lake west of the Mississippi River, the Great Salt Lake annually receives mineral-rich floodwater from surrounding mountains, making it more than five times saltier than ocean water. In fact, only the Dead Sea has a higher salt content than this 2000-square mile lake's 15 to 20% salinity. Tourists are encouraged to visit the State Park and marina area, located in Magna, where they'll find a flurry of activities: swimming, sailing, and bird-watching, to name a few.   (© 10Best)
