The future of the lake is uncertain. From 2001 to 2006, it was a small tourist resort, and the local community of Stari Ledinci village and the company that run it were ambitious to expand the tourist services. However, in June 2006, an avalanche from the stone walls injured several swimmers, and the public access to the lake was forbidden. Subsequently, the Republic Inspection for Environment Protection ordered the lake to be immediately emptied (as the old order from 2002 was not carried out), as the water level reached the edges, and started leaking out. Also, the Republic Bureau of Environmental Protection issued an opinion that the further stone exploitation must be ceased in the first phase, with appropriate protection and biological cultivation works performed, and the lake's purpose to be changed to a recreation site in the second phase.Радови на Лединачком језеру, Serbian Ministry of Science and Ecology, 31 October 2006.
