Why does the Great Salt Lake have salt but the Great Lakes don't?

The Great Salt Lake has salt because it as no outlet, the salt of thousands of years has flowed into the lake. As the water evaporates, it leaves the salt there and it increases in concentration.
The Great Lakes do not have salt because they are normal lakes, mostly fed by freshwater mountain streams and rivers, with an outlet to the oceans, so the salt does not increase in levels.

There have been some reports of bull sharks making it as far as lake Michigan but these are believed to be hoaxes. Some sharks like the bull can endure fresh water but not for the long periods needed to make it to lake Erie and Michigan. As a diver with over 600 hours in all the great lakes I have yet to see or hear of any evidence to corroborate any of these stories.
