Illinois River (Oregon)

Illinois River (Oregon)

The Illinois River is a tributary of the Rogue River, approximately 75 mi (120 km) long, in southwestern Oregon in the United States. It drains a mountainous area of the Coastal Range in the southwestern corner of the state.

It rises in southern Josephine County, in the Red Buttes Wilderness, near Whiskey Peak on the California state line, approximately 30 mi (48 km) southwest of Medford. It flows generally northwest in a winding course along the west side of the Klamath Mountains, past Cave Junction, Kerby and through the Siskiyou National Forest and Kalmiopsis Wilderness. It joins the Rogue River from the south on the Curry-Josephine county line, approximately 15 mi (24 km) from the Pacific Ocean.
