Morro do Chapéu State Park, State park in Bahia, Brazil

Located at an elevation of 1,012 meters, this 46,000-hectare state park contains tributaries of the Salitre, Jacaré, Utinga, and Jacuípe rivers.

The park was initially established by decree 23.682 in December 1973, but remained inactive until its recreation through state decree 7.413 in August 1998.
