Did you know that Georgia has its own little Grand Canyon called Providence Canyon? It’s true, but don’t let the term “little” fool you. Providence Canyon covers over 1100 acres, and its natural beauty is unmeasurable, making it one of Georgia’s best and most unique hikes. How Was Providence Canyon Formed? Providence Canyon is actually the result of poor farming practices in the late 1800s when farmers cut down too many trees to make for more farmable land. The lack of trees made the land more vulnerable to soil erosion, so any small ravines already there continued to get deeper and deeper with each instance of heavy rainfall. Where Is…
