Unusual or little known sights worth seeing

A previous post, "The landmarks game; name a city or place and the landmark", was very interesting. And did vary off course some, and I'm guilty of that as well. Some seemed upset that we diverted from the OP's request, "Name a city, a county or a state and name the most recognizable landmark or feature that makes that place instantly recognizable to everybody." So with this in mind I propose the following, list Unusual or little known sights worth seeing. What's out there folks?
Pics, location and a description would be helpful.

With that I propose:
Providence Canyon State Park
Lumpkin, GA 31815

Providence Canyon State Park is a 1,003 acres state park located in Stewart County in southwest Georgia. The park contains Providence Canyon, which is sometimes called Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". No camping, day use only. But worth the look see.

  • Desert of Maine, just a bit west of Freeport, ME. Very interesting geological phenomenon and there is a nice little campground right next door.

    Crater of Diamonds State Park, Murfreesboro, Arkansas If you find any diamonds on your dig, you keep 'em (we didn't). Great CG within the park.

    Collier Memorial State Park, Chiloquin, Oregon. I almost hesitate to list this as it was perhaps the most peaceful, unspoiled park we've every been in. Within the park is a very interesting lumbering museum devoted to the logging industry of the Pacific Northwest.
  • We visited that several years ago. That 'canyon' was caused by erosion--poor farming technique
