The large amount of tourism development around the lake is the cause of growing environmental concern. Winter-time use of the park has especially increased with the development skiing and snowmobiling assets. The lake simply isn't as quiet as it used to be. The lake is now regarded as having reached its development potential and there exists considerable opposition to further development. Some proposed development projects - such as the increase in the number of cottages along the lake's northeastern shore - have been shelved, and probably abandoned.
