Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area

Visitors are amazed at the breathtaking colors of Georgias Little Grand Canyon. The rare Plumleaf Azalea and other wildflowers, as well as the pink, orange, red and purple hues of the soft canyon soil, make a beautiful natural painting at this unique park. Visitors can enjoy views of the canyons from the rim trail, and backpackers who set off before 4 p.m. can stay overnight along the backcountry trail. Camping and cottages are available nearby at Florence Marina State Park on beautiful Lake Walter F. George. The massive gullies (the deepest being 150 feet) were caused by erosion due to poor farming practices in the 1800s.
