ALL OUT IN THE REGION

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.
