Issaqueena Falls, Waterfall in Walhalla, United States.
Issaqueena Falls creates a 100-foot cascade through multiple tiers of granite rocks in the Sumter National Forest of South Carolina.
The waterfall gained its name in the 1700s from a Cherokee woman who warned settlers about an impending attack from her tribe.
Native American folklore intertwines with the falls through tales of Issaqueena, known as Cateechee by Cherokee people, hiding behind the water curtain.
Visitors access the falls through a paved 0.3-mile trail from the parking area at Stumphouse Tunnel Park, with clear signage and observation points.
The falls share their location with an unfinished 1850s railroad tunnel, forming an unusual combination of natural and industrial heritage sites.
