Canyon Floor at Providence Canyon State Park

Forest Trail Sunny Day

Providence Canyon is one of Georgia’s odder State Parks. Humans created it accidentally due to incredibly dumb and aggressive farming practices that kicked off a century of erosion.

But what’s ever crazier is that the erosion just keeps on going. Nature is slowly stablizing the soil, on the canyon floor, you walk in the softest, grainiest silt. It’s an experience.
