It's real and a man-made stream from a potash plant to get rid of waste.
It's not legal to do so but they are kayaking on it.
Search kayaking on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
To keep this post from getting deleted for being political I did not offer an opinion on the man-made channel for dumping waste and I will not.
If you would also not make this political or religious, thanks.
I do though appreciate the humorous use of "Sacrilegious" as it pertains to racing. ...
