Providence Canyon Park is located in Lumpkin in southwest Georgia in Stewart County. The park is just over 4 km² and is also known as the “Little Grand Canyon”. It is considered one of the seven natural wonders of Georgia although it is ultimately not so natural as that.

Indeed, the canyon has cracks whose deepest can range up to 45 meters. These cracks are due largely to the erosion generated by poor agricultural practices in the 19th century. There is also a very rare flower, the azalea leaf plum “plumleaf”. You can learn much more about the effects of erosion and poor farming practices these during your stay in Providence Canyon.

The settlers have arrived in the mass region after the treaty signed in 1825 with the Indian tribes of Creeks treaty by which the Indian Creeks ceded their lands east of the Chattahoochee River.

Providence Canyon Park is on marine sediments, rather loam or clay, with small sandy areas. The canyons are full of clay on which water often seeps into this well-drained area. Admire the beautiful colors of the canyons during your visit.

One of the most curious attractions of the park consists of an abandoned farm in which there are a dozen vehicles, cars and trucks, in 1950, completely rusty. Paradoxically, park officials decided to let these vehicles there since removing them from their location would cause more damage to the environment that to keep them there.

Providence Canyon is home to many species of plants and animals. The swamp Okefenokee is both a constructive force and a destructive force because it was formed by wave action and leaves as the wind blows in the swamp.

This is the place if you like camping. Guests can venture into many paths and admire the wonders of Providence Canyon along the way.
