Lake Pontchartrain

Lake Pontchartrain has been a favorite spot of Louisiana waterheads for as long as there have been people around to enjoy it. It is one of the largest inland bodies of saltwater in the United States, second only to Utah’s Great Salt Lake.

The lake is not actually a lake at all, but an estuary. Unlike a proper lake, Pontchartrain is directly connected to the open sea. This connection accounts for its high salinity, especially in its southern waters.
