Caesars Head State Park joins Jones Gap State Park and other natural areas to comprise the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. The lookout tower at Caesars Head sits at 3,266 feet and provides a panoramic view of Table Rock and Pinnacle mountains, nearby valleys, and other distant peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Raven Cliff Falls, situated along one of the park's many hiking trails, is one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States, and is a popular destination for both day and overnight hikers.

There are over fifty miles of hiking trails in the area, and the park is also an access point to the Foothills Hiking Trail via the Gum Gap Trail.  This hike to Gum Gap is a popular one and you need a permit if you plan to camp overnight.  The Matthews Creek hike has some nice campsites that are located right on the water.  However, no fires are permitted in Caesars Head State Park.  If you are the type that likes a campfire, plan on shooting for Gum Gap for the night.  It's just out of the State Park boundaries where campfires are legal.  On this hike, you'll still have the great views of Raven Cliff Falls, cross a wire cable over Matthews Creek, and walk across a suspension bridge over the falls.  So consider it, especially during the cold winter months when a campfire is a definite plus.
