Serra Ricardo Franco State Park, State park in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Serra Ricardo Franco State Park covers 158,621 hectares of the Guaporé Depression in Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, Mato Grosso, on the Bolivian border. The plateau links the Serra de Santa Bárbara and Serra de São Vicente and holds left-bank tributaries of the upper Guaporé River. Its Jatobá waterfall drops 248 metres, the highest in the state.

Serra Ricardo Franco State Park was created by decree 1.796 of 4 November 1997, covering 158,620.85 hectares in Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, with squatters already present. In 2004 the state environment foundation FEMA proposed under governor Blairo Maggi to cut 100,000 hectares of occupied land, offset by a 70,000-hectare environmental protection area. A consultative council was set up in December 2014, and in 2015 park land was donated to Mato Grosso to offset the Jauru-Porto Velho transmission line.

The park shares a border with Bolivia's Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, forming an international conservation zone. This cross-border arrangement allows diverse South American ecosystems to thrive and move naturally across the landscape.

Visitors can access the Namorados waterfall trail, which features marked paths and natural pools. The remaining park areas require permits and are managed for conservation purposes, so plan to focus on the accessible sections.

The Jatobá waterfall drops 248 metres vertically, the highest in Mato Grosso. It lies in the park's less accessible interior, so most visitors never see it; as of 2016 only the Namorados waterfall trail circuit was open to the public.
