Wildcat Wayside State Park

Wildcat Wayside State Park is a 64-acre state park in South Carolina, about 2.5 miles from the community of Caesars Head. The land is managed by the state's park and recreation agency, and its small size makes it a quick stop rather than a full-day destination. The most comfortable months are generally September and October. Typical averages from the nearby Caesars Head weather station, at 3,200 feet, run from highs of about 71°F and lows near 58°F in September to highs of about 63°F in October. Those months also have fewer wet days than midsummer. The Wildcat Wayside Nature Trail begins right at the park. Pinnacle Pass Trail lies about 1.9 miles away, and paddlers can find the South Saluda River roughly 2 miles off. Climbers will find Alliteration Wall about 2.5 miles away.
