The Amapá River rises in the 304,146 hectares (751,560 acres) Lago do Capanã Grande Extractive Reserve, created in 2004. It flows across the reserve in an east of northeast direction, crosses the Rio Amapá Sustainable Development Reserve and then flows through the Matupiri State Park, where it joins the Matupiri River.[1]
