There are a few named lakes, reservoirs, and dry lakes in the Colorado Desert in the U.S. state of California.




Largest Lake



In the Colorado Desert, The Salton Sea is the largest lake in the Desert. The Salton Sea is also the largest lake in the U.S. state of California. The lake formed in 1905 which is now saline. It occupies 376 square miles (970 km2) in the southeast corner of the state, but because it is shallow it only holds about 7.5 million acre⋅ft (2.4 trillion US gal; 9.3 trillion L) of water.
