It's nothing more than a huge cesspool of root beer colored water that makes foam at waters edge.
Dead Tilapia (fish) are everywhere.
It stinks....it's ugly and the wind is relentless.
20-30 years ago, the fishing was great for large (10 lb+) orange mouth corvina. Although I have not been there in a couple of decades, I can imagine this fishery is bleak, if even that.
This "Sea" is fed on the south end by the New River. This river starts up with agricultural runoff and irrigation canals in Mexicali Mexico.
By the time this "river" makes it way north across the Imperial Valley in CA, more AG runoff, with the attendant chemical composition of fertilizers and pesticides, it's very toxic to fish.
Birds and critters love it......it's classic riparian habitat.
The water itself is very salty......way more than the open ocean.
Frankly, I would never ever go there again. It's that ugly.
Thats exactly how I remember the Salton Sea but I didn't want to be too discouraging to the RVer wanting to go there:):):)
World's Perfect Cesspool.
