I’m telling you, this really works!Great Salt Lake Lake OkeechobeeGreat Salt Lake Lake Okeechobee
LocationSize (Area)WildlifeWater SourceType of WaterLake Okeechobee in southern Florida is
the third largest lake in the United States.
This freshwater lake covers an area of 663
square miles. Water from the Kissimme
River fills this big lake, but its depth is
very shallow—ranging from only 7 to 20
feet deep. The lake is home to many kinds
of wildlife, including largemouth bass and
other fish, deer, turkey, wild boar, and
ducks.Just as its name implies, the Great Salt
Lake, in Utah is a saltwater lake. In fact, it
is eight times saltier than the ocean. Three
rivers flow into the lake—the Bear, the
Weber, and the Jordan. The size of this
huge lake keeps changing because it has
no outlets to drain the water away. In
1962, the lake was 969 square miles. In
the early 1980s it grew to 2,300 square
miles. Only brine shrimp and algae can
live in its salty waters, but many species of
birds live nearby.
