Access
Varies by access point — causeways, marinas, and state parks along the shoreline are the main public entry points.

North America’s largest saltwater lake outside the Great Lakes, and a critical stopover on the Pacific Flyway — its shoreline and causeways draw huge numbers of shorebirds, raptors, and waterfowl despite the lake itself supporting almost no fish.
