Providence Canyon Georgia State Park is located in Lunpkin, Georgia. It is worth the six hour drive from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Before arriving at the state Park, be sure to fill up and eat at least 40 to 60 minutes before arriving. There is not much in the city of Lumpkin. Albany has food, hotels and gas. We stayed two hours away in Valdosta - a larger city. Arriving at the state park, you will pay $5.00 for parking and they will supply a map. I recommend heading to the visitor center and starting the hike by making a right turn down the trail. White blaze canyon loop is a 3 mile loop but once you complete the canyon walks it really is about 5 miles. Each canyon gets better and more impressive from one to eight. Canyon 9 was too muddy and wet so didn’t complete that one. It is important to wear hiking boots! I recommend bringing along water and snacks. If not, the visitor center sells cold water and snacks upon your return. There are also bathrooms. The prices are affordable for souvenirs like tee shirts and stuffed animals. It takes about .25 miles to get down the trail. Once you arrive you will spend time going down the paths that lead to the canyons. Some of these paths start off very wet and muddy and become dryer as you get closer to the canyons. The views are spectacular. Upon leaving the Canyons you will walk another 1.5 to 2 miles back to visitor center. Before arriving back you will have many views looking down on the canyons. There are a lot of trees so some views are blocked. It is still worth completing the full loop! There is plenty of seating and picnic benches along the upper trail. Also, bring plastic bags to put your shoes in after getting back - lots of mud! This place is pet friendly too! I hope this post was useful! Enjoy!!!! 😊

The scenery was stunning. I could of looked out all day at the beautiful colormof the canyon rocks. The fall tree colors was just to.topmoff the beauty. This is a must go and see..will need several hours to enjoy upper and lower views. Walking down is definitely a lot easier than the walk up. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely stunning views, The clay had so many different vibrant colors and textures. The Canyons were way bigger sizes than I had expected, you can spend a good portion of the day walking around the park and see them from so many different angles and heights. The floor of the canyon was very muddy, definitely wear shoes / clothes you can get dirty and not worry about. This place is a must-see for anyone traveling in Georgia looking for a phenomenal view.

To experience the view of the canyon as I hike 3.5 miles was extremely satisfying and relaxing. The various views of the canyon wall made for some beautiful pictures. A return trip is definitely in order

Nice visitor center with clothing, snacks, ice cream, and other souvenirs. We grabbed a map and the ranger suggested we do the loop (as we had planned) and also hike into the canyons to see 4, 5, 6 and 7. We ended up going back the fork to 4/5 and did 6 and 7 first and then went back to 4/5...which worked out well because we saved the best for last. Each canyon had unique red rocks/views and the trails overall had tree canopy so you're not in full sun while walking. A good portion of the trail was in a muddy wet area with creek flowing in some areas (about 2 inches deep) so the bottom of your shoes will get dirty but you don't need special shoes - our hiking shoes were perfect. The loop around the canyons - especially the 2nd half was really cool. We spent 2 1/2 hours to do the 4 canyons and loop. Definitely recommend it to families and people of all levels.

We arrived a little too early to catch peak leaf season, but our first visit to Providence Canyon was still fantastic! It is such a unique hike, and viewing the canyon from the bottom is very different than from the top. We started at the visitor’s center and hiked the Canton Overlook Trail counterclockwise (as recommended by the park attendant). We had plenty of time to explore all of the canyons on the floor before heading back up and enjoying the views from the rim. The scenery is something one would expect to see in Utah or Sedona — not Georgia. Great experience!

Very beautiful as stated it resembles the Grand Canyon! There's a small look out that would be ADA compliant for wheelchair or stroller right next to visitors center where free maps are provided. Beyond this point there is no assessibility on trail for stroller..lots of tree roots and red clay Take water. Hats. Bug spray for 1 - 2 hour walk. There's pavilion and child's playground. If you park near the church the view across street is great.

A wonderful place to visit to see the landscape and vibrant colors even in the winter time. . It was very muddy on the trail heading to the canyons . I really enjoyed It , want to go back on the spring time
