Blue Hole Creek was at one time an Exceptional Value waterway. The creek was a reliable source of drinking water for backpackers on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. Further downstream, it provided plentiful wild trout for anglers. The actual "Blue Hole" is a deep, rock-lined swimming hole where locals would go to escape the summer heat.

But due to upstream pollution from a shooting range (owned by Highland Ventures, LLC) the creek is now listed as impaired. Our testing has shown lead levels in the creek as high as 400 parts per billion. The water has also been acidic.
