Huh. I’ve been to Salton Sea a couple times and always really enjoy it. Nice place to kayak, the mist over the sea with the surrounding mountains makes it very picturesque the right time of day, and there aren’t motorboats flying by every second blasting music like you get with most lakes open to boating in SoCal.

I’ve only been in winter, which I’m sure helps. I certainly wouldn’t want to go in >100 degree heat.

I've been there once. It's a super weird place. I stopped by Salton City on the west side of the lake (https://goo.gl/maps/ksWdbiRFfpnUBE6X8). The town has 50% nice-ish, occupied homes & 50% derelict buildings that looked like dilapidated crack houses. The shore was super stinky, covered with dead fish (tilapia I assume) & the smell you'd expect to go with it.
