There's salt mines under Lake Erie in Cuyahoga and Lake Counties (Ohio).
I never knew that till I watched a episode of "Dirty Jobs" that feature salt mining .I forget what job Mike Rowe was doing.

Years ago I was on a business trip and one of our stops was located inside an old salt mine. I'm not sure, but I think it was near Kansas City, Mo. Anyway, they had stores, shops and other businesses located down there. As I remember, there were pillars of salt that were left behind to provide support since there were no tunnels but rather a very large open area. I can't seem to find out anything about it on Google, but I do have a brochure that I brought back with me, if I can find it.

Goderich, Ontario also has sal mines under the lake -- this is 2 lakes north of Windsor.
That is the main traffic at one end of the Goderich & Exeter Railway.

We may someday run out of oil, we may run out of clean water, we may run out of some metals, but the world will never run out of salt.
