ALL OUT IN THE REGION

2 Providence Canyon
OUTDOOR
RECREATION AREA

Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” is a
testament to the power of man’s influence
on the land. Massive gullies as deep
as 150 feet were caused simply by poor
farming practices during the 1800s, yet
today they make for some of the prettiest
photographs in the state. The rare plumleaf
azalea grows only in this region and blooms
during July and August when most azaleas
have lost their color. The canyon soil’s
pink, orange, red and purple hues make a
beautiful natural painting at this quiet park.
