Location of the mouth of the Little Chetco River in Oregon

The Little Chetco River is a tributary of the Chetco River in Curry County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[2] Its headwaters lie in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness near the border with Josephine County west of Cave Junction. It flows generally northwest through the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest in the Klamath Mountains.[3]

The named tributaries of the Little Chetco River are, from source to mouth, Hawk Creek, which enters from the left; Ditch and Copper creeks, which enter from the right, and Henry Creek, left.[3]

Little Chetco Trail and other connecting trails maintained by the United States Forest Service pass through or near the Little Chetco River watershed.[4] These include the Emily Cabin Trail, the Kalmiopsis Rim Trail, and the Bailey Cabin Trail.[5]
