Surely that can’t be true though? I see this-

> Saltair Resort: Built in 1893, Saltair was a massive, Moorish-style pavilion built directly over the water. It featured a massive dance floor, roller coasters, and thousands of tourists who came to experience "America's Dead Sea" by floating effortlessly in the water.

I cannot imagine any sane person dancing and doing roller coasters over the current shrine to decay that is the Great Salt Lake.

I swam in the lake with my family (including a baby) just a few years ago. Once you got used to the fly larvae (“brine shrimp”) it was fine.

People swim at coney island and smelly little southern creeks. It’s no big deal.
