There are no projected improvements to enhance recreation. CBS Water Department does not foresee any future human activities within the Blue Lake Watershed that will adversely affect the water quality. Overnight camping continues to decrease , as is indicated by inspection log and camping permit data. Upgraded permit forms in 1998 were designed to provide more information to the campers about the watershed and the rules to follow. The CBS Electrical Department also inspects the Blue Lake access road and the penstock closure facility on a regular basis, coordinating with the water department as it relates to watershed activities.
People park at the top of the steep access road and view the lake and mountains.
Few actually leave their cars, or walk down the road to look at the dam or get close to the water. CBS's water and wastewater operators continue to conduct many treatment plant tours. The Sitka population is becoming more aware of the need to protect their drinking water source. CBS is also in the third year of a program mentoring college level students who are enrolled in Environmental Technology programs at University of Alaska Southeast. USFS Camp Hosts at Blue Lake Campground and the Sitka Police Department make random inspections at the Blue Lake area.
