Issaqueena Falls, Walhalla, South Carolina
Issaquena is a dazzling 98-foot waterfall in beautiful Walhalla, home to many breathtaking waterfalls. A brief stroll to an observation deck will take you up close and personal to one of the nation’s most spectacular natural wonders.
And the best part is that seeing this beauty requires ZERO effort on your part. There’s a unique local legend associated with this roadside waterfall, as well. It was named after a Native American who warned settlers of an attack.
She was then chased by her people and was said to have been seen jumping over the falls. So you’ll enjoy a bit of history along with the beauty, all rolled into one, by visiting this fall.
Also in the area is the bizarre Stumphouse Tunnel, an unfinished railroad tunnel for the Blue Ridge Railroad, which is said to be haunted by many ghosts nowadays!

You should also include Gooseberry Falls in Minnesota on the North Shore!!! It’s as scenic as any others you mentioned!!!!
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for your feedback. We’ll be sure to include Gooseberry Falls on our next list.
Absolutely! But most falls here require hiking.
You really need to come on out to the Pacific Northwest!!!! Some of biggest, ‘right on the road’ waterfalls are in the Pacific Northwest..
Beautiful, awe inspiring, Multnomah Falls is only 30.5 miles east of the Portland (OR) Airport – PDX. It’s on I 84. You don’t need to leave your car if you don’t want to (they do have rest rooms if you need a pit stop 🙂 For an added treat, just look at the other side of I 84 and you’ll see the gorgeous majestic Columbia River (border between Oregon and Washington) on it’s trip to the Pacific Ocean.
