Because of its reputation as a modern ghost town, Frick's Lock attracts many curious individuals and groups, including ghost hunters.
 Its isolated location and abandoned status also attracts vandals.
 The inclusion of the Frick's Lock in the 2005 book, Weird Pennsylvania, and numerous web photo essays of the buildings have increased its popularity.
 The web sites have also documented its increased deterioration, including the aforementioned vandalism and the collapse of some porch structures.

As of March 2008, Frick's Lock remains a hotbed for many thrill seekers and vandals.
Interest in the area has grown since a fire destroyed the Lock Tender's House in February 2008.
Since then, Exelon has made numerous attempts to clean up debris from the property and to close up open wells and open buildings.
Vandals continue with their destruction of the buildings.

Police are now attempting to discourage the continued vandalism by citing all unauthorized people found on the property with trespassing.
