}}Rice Hill is an unincorporated community in Douglas County, Oregon, United States.[2] It is located about {{convert|10|mi|km}} north of Oakland on Interstate 5.[3]

Rice Hill is a summit that divides the watersheds of Elk Creek and the Umpqua River.[4] It was named either for Isadore F. Rice, who settled in the area in the 1850s, or for William S. Rice, who had a Donation Land Claim at the north end of Rice Valley at about the same time.[4] The two-mile long valley stretches south from the community of Rice Hill.[5] Southern Pacific Railroad (today Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad) has a station on its Siskiyou Line at the summit named Rice Hill.[4] Rice Hill post office was established in 1892, and soon renamed Ricehill.[4] The office closed in 1908.[4] The steep grade of Rice Hill, elevation {{convert|710|ft|m}}, was an obstacle for pioneer travelers and it also created problems for the construction of the railroad, as it rises {{convert|325|ft|m}} in {{convert|3|mi|km}}.[4][6][7]

Rice Hill has complete tourist facilities, including a truck stop, motels, and restaurants.[8][9] It has long been a popular spot to stop for ice cream.[10][11]
