Isaqueena Falls
Isaqueena Falls, located near
Walhalla, South Carolina, is a waterfall
in the Oconee District of the Sumter National Forest.
The falls are named after a Cherokee girl who allegedly
leaped from the top of the falls with her lover, an
Oconee brave, in an attempt to hide him from the
rest of her tribe, which was at war with the Oconee.
Isaqueena allegedly then hid him in the recessed
area just below the top of the falls. It is very close
to Stumphouse Tunnel, another notable local landmark.
Today a small park provides access to both places.[1
