The northeast side of Mount Angeles drains into Ennis Creek, thence into Port Angeles Harbor. The north and west sides of Mount Angeles drain into the South Branch of Little River, thence into the Elwha River and into Juan de Fuca in the Lower Elwha Indian Reservation, a few miles west of Port Angeles.
