There is a small waterfall to the left of the Stumphouse Tunnel, but there is the much larger Issaqueena Falls waterfall down the road and along an easy 0.4 mile trail.
[Chuck Coker, 10/14/2020]Great place to visit and feel like you connected with the earth somehow. Experience the inside of a mountain! The acoustics are really neat. Bring the kids.

Nice stop on a scenic drive. Be sure to walk to the observation point at Issaqueena Falls. Pack a picnic and enjoy the sounds.

Stumphouse Tunnel is lots of fun -- worth the 8 hours round trip from my house.
