The river drops 157 m (515 ft) in elevation between its source and its mouth. At less than 1.5 m (4.9 ft) deep, it is quite shallow.[2] Except during very cold years, the Ruggles River remains partially open all year long. It is populated by Arctic char.[2]

History

In 1958, a 13th-century winter house was excavated along the Ruggles River.[3]

gollark: It's more, well, less bad.
gollark: I'm not sure about "best".
gollark: I've got three-level "antivirus" in that I'm not insanely stupid, I run Linux and few virus authors bother to target it, and I install most stuff from my distro's package manager.
