Most saltwater lakes have no outlet. In such cases, the evaporation of the water in the lake leads to the slow salinization of the lake. Many soils have salts in them and when it rains, these salts disolve and then flow into the creeks and rivers flowing into the lake. Since the salt remains in solution, as the water evaporates, the lake becomes more and more salty. The Dead Sea, Salt Lake and the Caspian Sea are examples of this.
Some lakes are saltwater but are directly connected to the ocean and the water comes from the ocean. An example of this is Bra 'dor Lake in Nova Scotia Canada.
Fresh water lakes all have outlets which allows any salts to flush out over time.
