The Little Sugar River is a 31-mile-long (50 km) tributary of the Sugar River in the U.S. state of Wisconsin.
It rises in Dane County, just north of New Glarus, and flows southeasterly, joining the Sugar River at the mill pond in Albany. The river above New Glarus is considered a class II trout stream by the DNR (1980).
The river widens below New Glarus, and some large wetlands exist bordering it, along the Sugar River Trail.
Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or river:
“‘Tis the voice of the Lobster; I heard him declare,
‘You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair.’”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
