Mount Grant stands within the watershedofLake Champlain, which drains into the Richelieu RiverinQuébec, the Saint Lawrence River, and then eventually into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The northeast side of Mount Grant drains into Stetson Brook, thence into the Mad River, the Winooski River, and into Lake Champlain.
