Most local birders drive this road slowly with the windows open listening for birds, stopping occasionally for target species. If stopping to bird, do not park in or block any of the many Fire Rtes; find a level, well-drained spot to safely pull your vehicle well to the side, such that others may pass.

Note also that Poison-ivy is abundant along the verges of this road.

Hubble Road is best known for its shrubland bird species. Eastern Towhee, Brown Thrasher, Field Sparrow and Indigo Bunting are all common. It is not unusual to encounter a dozen of each species along the length of the road. Both cuckoo species are also present in shrub alvar habitat. Eighteen species of warblers have been documented in the breeding season, including both Blue- and Golden-winged warblers and their hybrids. Crepuscular and nocturnal birding can also be rewarding. Eastern Whip-poor-will, Common Nighthawk and American Woodcock are all common.

Hubble Road is a secluded gravel road that extends almost 5 km between county roads 47 in the east and 44 in the west. It winds its way through a variety of habitats from deciduous and mixed woodland and forest to shrub alvar and a few wetlands. It is remarkable inasmuch as it is one of the very few roads in Peterborough County along which there are almost no permanent human habitations. Although signs at either end of the road warn of no winter maintenance, it is occasionally plowed and is usually driveable through the winter months. However, during the spring thaw some sections can be very wet and soft and at times impassable. All the lands either side of this road are privately owned and heavily posted; do not trespass.
