Very intresting place out in the middle of nowhere. The visitor center is being repaved so you have to park in a old church parking lot. But thats ok because the old church and grave yard is pretty cool. You can walk around and down into the canyon. There are several spots to see the canyon from the top. They do need to go around and fix some of the fencing. There are bathrooms that are pretty clean and picnic tables. It is worth the stop.

We had a great time exploring the canyon trails. We wished we had more time to see everything but we had a time deadline and had to cut our visit short. We will be back for sure!
The only thing that kept us from giving an excellent rating was the lack of clearly defined trails. Maps were readily available and there were trail signs but the trail markings were not frequent enough.

This place is incredible. We got there at 1:30, hiked all the canyons and made it back to the vehicle around 5. Bring plenty of water and food. We stopped twice to eat. It so beautiful.

Wow what an amazing park! The trails were fairly easy. You will get mud on your shoes but it is well worth it. I definitely plan on returning soon.

Great little and pretty standard hike. They had a couple of short hikes and one that was long. Very much enjoyed the canyon. Was unique to say the least. Could be wet after a rain so be prepared. Service staff was outstanding. Best we've seen at a State park. The bathroom were the best I have ever been in at a state park or any state facility for that matter. Worth the visit.

Walking down to the canyon floor was easy and walking up from the floor was easier than I thought it would be. We especially liked Trails 4 & 5. Very magestic looking up from the floor to the top. We're telling everyone that it's worth the trip.

You must make time to stop by this amazing place. It's unbelievable that such a beautiful place is the result of bad farming practices from early settlers! The erosion has stripped the soil and left peaks and valleys of many color variations. The canyon loop trail will take you about an hour-and-a-half. The best views are from the 4th and 5th canyon overlooks next to the picnic area.

Wear good comfortable walking shoes, and take a water bottle. We took our Great Grandson, he was 6, and spent most of the day. We walked just over eight miles, had a picnic
and played on the playground. We had a Wonderful Day.

This was really nice. Great place for photographs. It is a lot of walking, a lot of uneven paths, so if you aren't steady on your feet, dont do it. The best views are from the top near the entrance, so you can avoid the hike if you want. Dont go when it is hot or after it rains, which we did. There wasnt much shade at the bottom, and it was all mud from the rain. ...or just wear shoes you dont care about. It's a beautiful place I think more people would go to, if it wasnt in the middle of nowhere.

If a person has physical challenges that prohibit serious "hiking" is it still possible to see some of the canyon with some simple walks? What kind of time should we expect to spend?

Would an hour be enough to see a bit of the canyon or do you really need to walk the longer trails to appreciate it?

Has anyone camped here at Providence Canyon using a primitive campsite versus a backcountry campsite? If so, what feedback can you give?

Thinking of visiting the park in a week or so. Will be traveling with 2 Kim’s - 6 year and 18 month. Mainly interested for a family outing but is it worth staying overnight with two young kids? Mainly interned spending more time at Canyon 4 & 5. Any tips on reaching there with comfort from the parking area?

Nearby Florence Marina State Park has cabins. It is a VERY short drive from there (about 7-8 miles). Florence Marina is also a very nice and affordable.
