Issaqueena Falls

Stumphouse Tunnel Park
Walhalla, SC
864-638-4343

It is an easy 10 minute hike to the base of this beautiful falls, named for an Indian maiden who hid on a ledge of the falls to avoid capture as she fled to warn her English lover of an Indian attack.  A well-maintained trail leads from the parking area to a platform for viewing this 100-foot cascade of Cane Creek.  Nearby is a picnic area and Stumphouse Tunnel, which is 25 feet high, 17 feet wide, and although it was not completed as a railroad tunnel, extends 1,617 feet into the mountain. You can walk a ways into the tunnel, but there may be water and you will need a flashlight to find your way.
