Sunday River Whitecap is within the watershed of the Androscoggin River, which drains into Merrymeeting Bay, the estuary of the Kennebec River, and thence into the Gulf of Maine.The north, northeast, and southeast sides of Sunday River Whitecap drain into the Bear River, thence into the Androscoggin.The southwest side drains into Miles Brook, thence into Sunday River and the Androscoggin.

Trails to the peak are still in development, including the Grafton Loop trail. Though the trail is incomplete, hikers can easily bushwhack to the top by following streams and partial trails.
