"Much of Salt Creek is usually dry at the surface and covered by a bright layer of salt which was created by many flooding and subsequent evaporation of water that periodically flows at the surface. Over time the small amount of solutes in the water accumulate to form this linear salt pan. Another part of Salt Creek runs with brackish water year-round. It is here that the last survivor of Lake Manly resides: the Death Valley pupfish."
