        RECREATION AREA
          The pink, orange, red and
        purple hues of the soil at
        Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon”
        make a beautiful natural
        painting at this quiet park. 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.
        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.     (on leash)

        “Wow, we never knew anything
        like this existed in GA. It’s worth
        your time!”

        “If you’re within driving distance
        and you love natural beauty, this
        is so worth the drive.”
