Little River (North Umpqua River)
- Little River (North Umpqua River)
The Little River is a tributary of the North Umpqua River, approximately 20 miles (32 km) long, in southwestern Oregon in the United States. It drains part of the western side of the Cascade Range east of Roseburg, between the North and South Umpqua.
It rises north of Quartz Mountain in the eastern Douglas County in the Umpqua National Forest(coord|43.18274|-122.67995|type:river_region:US-OR|name=Little River source). It flows west-northwest and joins the North Umpqua from the south at Glide, approximately 12 miles (19 km) east-northeast of Roseburg (coord|43.297618|-123.1017309|type:river_region:US-OR|display=inline,title|name=Little River mouth). The confluence is known as Colliding Rivers, and is the only place in the world where two rivers meet head-on.

The current Colliding Rivers Information Center was originally the North Umpqua Ranger Station of the Umpqua National Forest. It was built in 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and United States Forest Service (USFS). It was converted to a residence in the 1950s, but in 1990 the building began to be restored to be similar to the original condition for use as an information center. Opened in 1992, the visitor center is managed jointly by the Forest Service, the Roseburg Visitor and Convention Bureau and the Bureau of Land Management. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
