Salton Sea

The Salton Sea State Recreation Area is a popular site for campers, boaters, and anglers. It covers 14 miles of the northeastern shore of the Salton Sea, one of the world's largest inland seas and lowest spots on earth. The area offers various recreation opportunities, including kayaking, camping, birdwatching, and hiking. The Salton Sea was created in 1905 when high spring flooding on the Colorado River crashed the canal gates leading into the developing Imperial Valley. The sea is home to a limited number of fish species due to increasing salinity, with tilapia being the most common catch. Visitors can enjoy the site's many activities and take in the unique landscape of the Salton Sea
