The salt content of the water (180 g/L) [3] gives it a salinity about half of that of the Dead Sea (300-400 ppt), allowing bathers to float easily. The lake falls within the Lanigan-Manitou Sub-basin of the Upper Qu'Appelle watershed. [5] There is no fishing as the high salt content of the water supports little other than brine shrimp.
