The western slope of the western parcel drains into tributaries of the Little Juniata River, the eastern slope of the parcel, the southwestern parcel, and the western slope of the main parcel drains into Sinking Run, which also runs to the Little Juniata further downstream. The portion of the main parcel on the eastern slope of Brush Mountain and the western slope of Canoe Mountain drain into Canoe Creek which runs to the Frankstown Branch Juniata River, and finally, the portion of the main parcel on the east slope of Canoe Mountain drains into tributaries of the Frankstown Branch.
