Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel Park A Forgotten Civil War Era Project
Aiken readers visit Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel Park a half century after a halted 1852 plan to link Charleston to the Midwest. The quarter mile tunnel ends at solid granite, with a sheltering entrance, abandoned construction barriers and a damp, echoing interior now a quiet campground and nature spot.

Water Works Add To Tunnel Works At Stumphouse Park
A visit to Stumphouse Mountain Tunnel Park blends man made tunnels with Issaqueena Falls. Visitors can view the waterfall from above or descend to the bottom, where water power reshapes rocks and logs. The campground offers 20 sites with some hookups, while the pleasant picnic ground and forest trails invite short hikes and a relaxed day near Clemson.
