Providence Canyon State Park

or

Georgia's Little Grand Canyon

On Saturday, October 17, 2009 several members of the Middle Georgia Camera Club conducted a Field Trip to Providence Canyon State Park near Lumpkin, Georgia. It was a cool day with no sun which made for the ability to acquire vivid color images of this Canyon which is the result of soil erosion because of poor farming practices.
The State Park covers over 1100 acres and is an interesting place to visit. I acquired over 100 pictures. The floor of the canyon is 150 feet below the canyon rim.

This is a view from one of the overlooks near the canyon rim. The colors were amazing. I was impressed with the number of out of state visitors to this park. I noted automobiles from Indiana, Ohio, Florida and Alabama.

Another view from a rim overlook station. Should you desire to learn more about this interesting place please visit:

I have lived in Georgia 34 years and am still learning about this Great State. The Flower Child recommends that you also take the time to visit more of the interesting Parks and other sites in the State.
