Madeirinha River is a river of Mato Grosso and Amazonas states in north-western Brazil, a left tributary of the Roosevelt River.

Course

In Mato Grosso the river forms the western boundary of the 13,683 hectares (33,810 acres) Rio Madeirinha Ecological Station, a fully protected environmental unit created in 1997.[1] It then flows north east through the Tucumã State Park in Mato Grosso and the 83,381 hectares (206,040 acres) Manicoré State Forest in Amazonas, a sustainable use conservation unit created in 2005.[2] It continues north east from the state forest before joining the Roosevelt river.
