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 Colrado River can be oh so powerful. This 360 square-mile basin is a site for boaters, 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.

But in reality it is a televison satelite dish.
Beware: Primitive camping options along shoreline can be hazardous. Certain areas we found to be very littered & are in dire need of a major clean up. Why go to the dump... when you can bring the dump to the beach?	Your safest bet is to stay in one of the really nice State run campsites.
