Visitors to the Florence Marina area may experience such wonders as Providence Canyon. The canyon is known as "Georgia's Little Grand Canyon." Poor farming techniques of the 1800s caused the 150-foot-deep formation of the canyon. Backpackers hike along the canyon rim while viewing wildflowers, including breathtaking blooming azaleas in the spring. Backpackers are permitted to camp inside the canyon.
Kirbo Interpretive Center offers visitors educational opportunities focusing on early Native American life.
