About Cave Junction

Tucked into Southern Oregon's scenic Illinois Valley, Cave Junction is a quiet, tight-knit hub best known as the gateway to the Oregon Caves. Life here moves at a relaxed pace, surrounded by forested hills, small local vineyards, and favorite swimming spots at Illinois River Forks State Park. As the main community center for the surrounding valley, the town offers local schools, family-owned shops, and everyday essentials right along Redwood Highway on the route out to the coast.
