In which U.S. state can one find this man-made canyon that was inadvertently created?

Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area is a 1,003-acre (405.90 ha) Georgia state park located in Stewart County in southwest Georgia, along the state’s border with Alabama. While the Grand Canyon in Arizona and other notable canyons around the world were slowly carved by water and wind over the course of thousands of years, Georgia’s “Little Grand Canyon” came about much more quickly.

In the 1800s, poor agricultural practices led to heavy erosion of topsoil and clay, creating gullies four feet (1.2 m) deep within 20 years. Over the past decades, the canyon has continued to grow, and now is about 150 feet (45.75 m) deep and 350 feet (107 m) wide.

The canyon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia, and is home to the plumleaf azalea. The shrub is the rarest of the Eastern native deciduous azaleas and is being considered for the Endangered Species List by the federal government. Its range is restricted to a handful of counties along the Georgia-Alabama border in the Chattahoochee River Valley

The official name, “Providence Canyon”, is a nod to the Providence Methodist Church, which the canyon swallowed in the 1800s.
