Is there any lakes in the us that are saltier than ocean?

The Great Salt Lake in Utah is considered to be saltier than the ocean. The salinity of the Great Salt Lake varies throughout the year, but on average, it is about 12%. This is more than twice the salinity of the ocean, which is about 3.5%. The high salinity of the Great Salt Lake is due to the fact that it is fed by several freshwater rivers and streams, but has no outlet to the sea. This means that the water that enters the Great Salt Lake evaporates, leaving behind the dissolved salts. The Great Salt Lake is also home to a variety of halophytic plants and animals that have adapted to the high salinity of the water.
