'''Oregon Route 237''' is an [Oregon](/source/Oregon) [state highway](/source/state_highway) running from [OR 82](/source/Oregon_Route_82) in [Island City](/source/Island_City%2C_Oregon) to [Interstate 84](/source/Interstate_84_(Oregon)) and [U.S. Route 30](/source/U.S._Route_30_(Oregon)) in [North Powder](/source/North_Powder%2C_Oregon).  OR 237 is composed of the '''Cove Highway No. 342''' (see [Oregon highways and routes](/source/Oregon_highways_and_routes)) and part of the [La Grande-Baker Highway](/source/La_Grande-Baker_Highway) No. 66.  It is a combined {{convert|38.93|mi|km}} long and runs generally northwest to southeast in an inverted L pattern.

== Route description ==

OR 237 begins at an intersection with OR 82 in Island City.  It heads east to [Cove](/source/Cove%2C_Oregon), where it turns south, then west, then south again to [Union](/source/Union%2C_Oregon), where it overlaps [OR 203](/source/Route_203_(Oregon)) for {{convert|0.58|mi|km}}.  After the concurrency ends, OR 237 continues south to an intersection with I-84 and US 30 in North Powder, where it ends.
