Sugar Notch Run
River / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sugar Notch Run is a tributary of Solomon Creek in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 3.0 miles (4.8 km) long and flows through Hanover Township, Sugar Notch, and Ashley.[1] The watershed of the stream has an area of 2.33 square miles (6.0 km2). The stream is considered to be impaired by abandoned mine drainage for its entire length. Brook trout and various macroinvertebrate taxa inhabit portions of the stream and it is designated as a Coldwater Fishery. Coal mining has historically been done in the watershed and a small intake dam was on the stream in the early 1900s. Recreational opportunities in the watershed include the Sugar Notch Trail System and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 207.
