Salton Sea State Recreation Area

Location: 30 miles south of Indio on Highway 111, on the northeastern side of the Salton Sea.
Facilities: 150 developed family campsites (some @di), RV hookups, 3 primitive campgrounds, picnic areas (é), hiking and nature trails, boat ramps, boat mooring, restrooms, visitor center.
Activities: Camping, fishing, swimming, boating, water-skiing, windsurfing, kayaking, birding, guided boat tours.
Special Features: One of the world's largest inland seas, Salton Sea resulted from an accidental break in a hastily constructed dike supplying Colorado River water to the Imperial Valley. The 360-square-mile basin is one of southern California's most popular boating areas -- because of the sea's low altitude (228 feet below sea level), atmospheric pressure improves speed and ski boat engine performance.
