The Rio Malcozinhado is a river in the state of Ceará, Brazil, flowing through the municipalities of Horizonte, Pindoretama, and Cascavel. Its course originates in the industrial park of Horizonte and culminates at its mouth, known as the Foz do Rio Mal Cozinhado, on Águas Belas beach in Cascavel. This estuary area in Jacarecoara is noted for its picturesque and breathtaking natural views. For paddlers, access points and routes to the river can be found via trails starting near the Batoque Extractive Reserve in Pindoretama, with paths close to Highway 543 leading to well-marked roads. The broader region includes the Açude Mal Cozinhado, a reservoir whose history is documented by local authorities. The river's path from an industrial origin to a coastal estuary suggests a varied landscape, transitioning through inland areas to a scenic beachfront conclusion.
