Providence Canyon
Providence Canyon which is located in the Coastal Plain region is a network of gorges in southwest Georgia was created over 150 years ago from poor farming practices that caused erosion in the soft, multicolored soils . Often called "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon," Providence Canyon consists of several chasms, plateaus, cliffs, and pinnacles. Erosion has exposed the geologic record of several million years within its walls, and minerals have stained the sediments, creating a display of colors that range from white to various shades of pink, purple, red, brown, yellow, and black.
