About Providence Canyon State Park

A network of eroded gullies known as Providence Canyon gives this 2,706-acre park its name, carved into the land in southwest Georgia. Locals and visitors have called it Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon," and it is recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of Georgia. The park also shelters the plumleaf azalea, a rare native plant found here.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
