Sugar Mountain, Mountain summit in North Carolina, US
Sugar Mountain reaches an elevation of 5,236 feet and generates feeder streams for the Linville, Elk, and North Toe rivers in North Carolina.
The construction of the Citadel condominium complex in 1983 led North Carolina to establish the Mountain Ridge Protection Act to prevent similar developments.
The mountain attracts visitors year-round with winter sports facilities, golf courses, hiking trails, and seasonal festivals including Oktoberfest.
The summit offers multiple recreational options with skiing slopes from December through March and mountain biking trails during summer months.
Students from Appalachian State University refer to the prominent Citadel structure as 'The Sugar Cube' due to its square shape against the landscape.
