Sugar Mountain is a mountain in the North Carolina High Country and wholly in the Pisgah National Forest. Its elevation reaches 5,236 feet (1,596 m) and is split along the Eastern Continental Divide, generating feeder streams for the Linville, Elk, and North Toe rivers. On its north slope resides the Village of Sugar Mountain.

North Carolina Ridge LawEdit

In 1983, the Citadel was built on what is known as Sugar Top. The condominium complex, which can be seen for miles away, became what many consider an eyesore. Because of many complaints by locals and visitors, the state of North Carolina passed the Mountain Ridge Protection Act of 1983 so that nothing similar can be built again. Many students of nearby Appalachian State University in Boone, NC refer to the building as "The Sugar Cube" because of its unnaturally awkward square shape on the horizon.
