The Rio São Francisco Falso-Braço Norte is a river or stream located in the state of Paraná, Brazil, specifically in its western region. It flows through the municipality of Santa Helena. A notable access point for paddlers is near the Auto Posto Maraskin in the São Francisco Subheadquarters area of Santa Helena. From this starting point, a trail of approximately 14.5 kilometers with an elevation gain of 257 meters is documented, suggesting the surrounding terrain is not entirely flat and may involve some changes in elevation. The initial part of this route continues on paved terrain before presumably reaching the water. The river is known to be a popular fishing destination, with species like Trahira, Redbreast tilapia, and Piavuçu commonly targeted. This indicates the water body supports aquatic life and is likely a focus for recreational activity. The character of the paddling experience in this part of western Paraná would be influenced by the local landscape and the river's role as a fishing stream.
