The Rio Jacutinga is a river in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, forming part of the larger Uruguay River basin. It is characterized as a stream, offering a paddling environment that includes rapids. An exploratory paddle trip assessed these features approximately 500 meters downstream from a starting point. A specific access point for paddlers is associated with the CGH Arabutã, a hydroelectric plant located in the town of Arabutã. The river is known to be a popular fishing destination, with species like Common carp, Nile tilapia, and Trahira commonly sought, which means paddlers may share the water with anglers. Paddlers planning a trip should investigate the conditions of the rapids and coordinate with any local regulations, particularly around the CGH Arabutã infrastructure.
