Illinois River (OR) Whitewater Guide

The Illinois River in Oregon is a tributary to the Rogue River and boasts 31 miles of incredible scenery, whitewater, and hiking. As a Wild and Scenic river, the Illinois is subject to a wide variation in flows, especially during the rainy season, which often results in huge boom or bust storms. The stretch consists of many rapids, including a dozen Class IV rapids, and the notorious Green Wall Class V rapid. This stretch of river has limited access, with few trails in or out, and scant put-ins/take-outs.
