Like a dirty old dog, you'll either love it or hate it! The
Salton Sea is at the very least, a 'must see once' kinda deal.
228 feet below sea level, this place spans the top edge of the
Imperial County line & can be seen from Mount Laguna in Cleveland National
Forest. The shores are dotted with campgrounds, an over abundance
of RVs & mobile home parks....you'll be scratching you head
wondering. There is a small community called Bombay
Beach, where the name sounds better than the actual locale.
One of the world's largest inland seas, Salton Sea was created
by accident when a dike broke during the construction of an irrigation
canal in the early 1900's. The Colorado River can be oh so powerful.
This 360 square-mile basin is a site for boaters, racing, wakeboarding, water-skiers
& anglers. And this large body of water is only miniutes
from the largest State Park in the nation, Anza
Borrego Desert, just a short drive from Borrego
Springs.
This disaster stretches 35 miles long with over100 miles of
shoreline, the sea is, believe it or not, one of southern California's
most popular boating areas. Birdwatchers & visitors, can
enjoy the site's many recreation opportunities. Because of the
sea's low altitude, atmospheric pressure improves speed boat
& ski boat engine performance.
Fishing: ocean corvina, gulf croaker, tilapia &
sargo.
