The Salton Sea is a saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault. The lake occupies the lowest elevations of the Salton Sink in the Colorado Desert of Riverside and Imperial Counties in Southern California.

Like Death Valley, it is located below sea level, with the current surface of the Salton Sea at 226 ft. below sea level. The deepest area of the sea is 5 ft. higher than the lowest point of Death Valley. The sea is fed by the New, Whitewater, and Alamo rivers, as well as a number of minor agricultural drainage systems and creeks.

The lake covers a surface area of approximately 376 sq miles and is the largest in California. The lake's salinity is greater than the waters of the Pacific Ocean, but less than that of the Great Salt Lake and is increasing by about 1 percent annually.
