About Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area
Providence Canyon State Park is a 2,706-acre (1,095 ha) Georgia state park located in Stewart County in southwest Georgia, United States. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". It is considered one of the Seven Wonders of Georgia. It is also home to the very rare plumleaf azalea. One of the more unusual attractions of the state park is an abandoned homestead including nearly a dozen rusty, 1950s-era cars and trucks. Due to the environmental damage that removing the vehicles would cause, park officials have decided to leave them alone.
