It has been my understanding that The Dead Sea (which lays at the end of the Jordan River between Israel and Jordan), is one of the two saltiest bodies of water on earth. It contains about six times as much salt as ocean water and contains about 24 percent solid matter, mostly salt. The Great Salt Lake in Utah is the other body of water comparable in salt content.

Therefore, since the saltiest sea is the Dead Sea, and the Great Salt Lake in Utah is next in line in salt content, it seems safe to assume, that the Great Salt Lake in Utah is the saltiest lake in the world.
