Canyon Trail

Providence Canyon State Park, also known as Georgia's 'Little Grand Canyon', is a testament to the power of man's influence on the land. The park features massive gullies as deep as 150 feet, caused by poor farming practices during the 1800s, which now make for some of the prettiest photographs in the state. Visitors can enjoy views of the canyons from the rim trail, taking care to stay behind fences and off the fragile canyon edge. Hikers can explore the deepest canyons, finding a thin layer of water along the trail, and backpackers can stay overnight along the backcountry trail. The park is home to the rare Plumleaf Azalea, which blooms in July and August, and the canyon soil's pink, orange, red, and purple hues create a beautiful natural painting. The park offers various trails, including the White Blaze Canyon Loop Trail and the Backcountry Trail, which provide opportunities for hiking and exploration. The park also has a museum, visitor center, and picnic shelters, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
