Providence Canyon State Park is located on 1,003 acres near Lumpkin in southwest Georgia. At the core of this fascinating park is Providence Canyon, which is known as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon" and is considered one of the Natural Wonders of Georgia. What is curious is that the Canyon is actually not natural — soil erosion because of bad 19th century farming practices caused the deep gullies that plunge down 150 feet.
Nevertheless, Canyon's fantastic orange, pink, red, and purple colors make for fantastic photos and paintings. The canyon is especially beautiful in July and August when the rare endemic plum leaf azalea is in full bloom. Hiking along the canyon's rim offers magnificent views, and some of the gullies are popular among rock climbers.
