The lake is formed in a natural depression and has no specific in- or out-flows, being filled principally by direct drainage from the surrounding land and groundwater.[3]
The water in the lake is very clear and quantities of algae are usually low compared to the other lakes in the area. The clear water and surprising depth of Hubbles Lake (30 m) make it a popular destination for local SCUBA divers and occasional swimming and triathlon competitions. No hydrocarbon fueled boats / vehicles are allowed on the lake except for emergency response, making it a safe swimming or canoeing lake.[1]
