The Great Salt Lake is located on the border between Utah and Nevada, though it is primarily within Utah.

The Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, situated on the border between Utah and Nevada. While most of the lake lies within Utah, its northern reaches extend into Nevada. This unique lake is known for its high salinity, which results from limited water inflow and high evaporation rates. The Great Salt Lake is an important ecological feature, providing habitat for migratory birds and a popular recreational spot. Its water levels fluctuate dramatically due to seasonal changes, droughts, and human water usage, which impacts the surrounding environment and communities.
