Plaque describing the Legend of Issaqueena Falls

Issaqueena Falls, near Walhalla, South Carolina, is a Шаблон:Convert high cascade waterfall in the Oconee District of the Sumter National Forest.[1]

The falls are named for a legendary Cherokee girl who is said to have leaped from the top of the falls with her lover, either an Oconee brave, a white trader named Allan Francis, or a white silversmith named David Francis. In the story, Issaqueena and her lover either die together or they land on a ledge out of sight of hostile tribesmen and eventually live happily ever after.[2]

The waterfall is close to another notable local landmark, Stumphouse Tunnel, and a park provides access to both.[3]
