 Paved paths will lead you over several unique bridges, around waterfalls, and along ponds filled with large coy fish.



The Christmas season starts in the middle of November, so you can see where they have already started stringing the lights and getting ready for it. Christmas at the gardens is amazing!

Caesars Head State Park - South Carolina


Caesars Head State Park is located in Cleveland, South Carolina. The Park gets its name from a rock outcropping on top of the Blue Ridge cliff.



We visited this park towards the end of a long trip through the mountains of North Carolina. We were so glad to find a place with amazing views that didn’t require a 3 mile hike up steep terrain! :)



To get to the Caesars Head overlook does not require any hiking. It is only a few hundred feet from the parking area.



The overlook provides a great view of Table Rock Lake.



If you are up for a hike, the Raven Cliff Falls trail leads to 420-foot waterfall. A suspension bridge allows access to two overlooks to the falls. The trail is about 4 miles round trip. Maybe next time we will be up for the hike.



This park is a great place to visit, especially in the Fall. The views and fall foliage are beautiful! 



Happy Travels!
