Travelers Aren’t Allowed To Swim In These Natural Spots

Mono Lake – California, USA

Mono Lake is found 100 miles south of Lake Tahoe and has some strange natural features. Usually, many people journey through the region without much interest, but there’s an area here which attracts attention. Due to tributaries in Los Angeles and other towns nearby, Mono Lake is almost entirely drained.

So why not swim in it? Well, the chemical imbalance left over from the drained water has caused unhealthy toxic levels in the remaining water. If you decide to dive into the lake, you might just get sick.
