Providence Canyon State Park

Providence Canyon State Park is a 1,003-acre park in southwest Georgia near Lumpkin. Providence Canyon, also known as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon" and one of Georgia's Natural Wonders, lies at the heart of this exciting park. The steep gullies that drop down 150 feet were formed by soil erosion caused by poor 19th-century farming techniques, which is strange given that the Canyon is not natural.

On the other hand, the Canyon's beautiful orange, pink, red, and purple colors provide beautiful photographs and paintings. The rare indigenous plum leaf azalea in full flower in July and August, making the Canyon even more attractive. Hiking along the Canyon's rim provides breathtaking vistas, and rock climbers frequent several of the gullies.
