Providence Canyon

The views at Providence Canyon will transport you out West, it's even nicknamed the "Little Grand Canyon." 

The canyon is also a testament to man's impact on nature and Georgia's history. The canyon was carved by erosion due to poor farming practices during the 1800s. Today, it makes for some of the prettiest photographs in the state. 

For those looking to spend a night there are a couple options. Backpackers can stay overnight along the backcountry trail which highlights portions of the canyon and winds through mixed forest. Camping, cottages and efficiency units are available nearby at Florence Marina State Park on 45,000 acre Lake Walter F. George.

For more information, visit their page on the Georgia State Parks website.
