This has resulted in some increase in sedimentation. The algae problem has worsened requiring a modest amount of treatment to control it each summer. Its depth, attractive natural surroundings and the variety of fish species has made this lake a favorite with fishermen in both summer and winter. About one third of the total shoreline of Sunset Lake is woodland. This lake also receives moderate algae and weed control treatments.
Many undeveloped parklands surround the northern and western shores.
In 1974, a Borough access site for residents was dedicated. It is located on Pocono Road. Next in the chain are the two connected ponds Valley Road. All these ponds are surrounded almost entirely with attractive private residential properties and roadways. There is some sedimentation from surface drainage.
