The Sugoy (Russian: Сугой) is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It is 347 kilometres (216 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 26,100 square kilometres (10,100 sq mi).[1]
The river freezes in October and stays frozen until late May or early June. There are important coal deposits in the Sugoy basin.[2]
Course
The river has its source in the confluence of two small rivers of the
intermontane basin where the river flows is up to 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) wide and includes extensive wetland areas, as well as dense forests.[3] Finally it joins the right bank of the Kolyma 1,300 km (810 mi) from its mouth.[4][2]
The main tributary of the Sugoy is the Khetagchan (Хетагчан) that joins it in its lower course from the right.[5]
