What to expect

Providence Canyon State Park, also known as Georgia's 'Little Grand Canyon', is a 1,003-acre park featuring massive gullies as deep as 150 feet, caused by poor farming practices during the 1800s. The park offers hiking trails, including a rim trail and a backcountry trail, allowing visitors to explore the canyons and enjoy the rare Plumleaf Azalea, which blooms in July and August. The canyon soil's pink, orange, red, and purple hues create a beautiful natural painting. Visitors can also stay overnight at the park's backcountry campsites or pioneer campsites. The park is home to various facilities, including picnic shelters, a museum, and a visitor center
