Providence Canyon



Providence Canyon State Park near Lumpkin, Ga




A short hike of about 1/4 mi. takes you to the bottom of the canyon. Not much of a river. The canyon was formed by run off water which eroded the hillsides after farmers had cleared and ploughed the land in about 1820.

The sand and red clay of GA was washed away over a short period of only about 150 years.






Erosion can do all this.
