FISHING
A day to dream
Along a stream,
The song of birds
Instead of words,
And pictures rare
Flung everywhere
Instead of smoke
To blind and choke
An atmosphere
That’s sweet and clear,
The trees instead
Of chimneys red.
A patch of sky
To rest the eye;
Instead of noise,
A thousand joys;
Instead of greed
A kindlier creed.
A day to dream
Along the stream,
To think and plan,
Restores a man,
And this he knows
Who fishing goes.
Edward A. Guest
"All streams flow to the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place where streams come from, there they return again."
Holy Bible, King Solomon

MOUNTAIN ACTIVITIES
Spectacularly situated on the banks of the Cartecay River and safely tucked into the magnificent Blackberry Mountain gated community, River majesty offers year-round fun and enjoyment for anyone drawn to the outdoors.
Horseback ride, fish, mountain bike, hike, kayak, raft, tube, canoe or meander through Georgia Mountain forests.
Rest on a sun-baked rock and listen to the rush of the Cartecay River, the flowing song of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. Watch the sun slip behind the mountains making way for the brilliant glory of the starlit and moonlit sky.
River Majesty is centrally located to many activities in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. Fishing, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, panning for gold on the Cartecay River are all outside your door without ever leaving your cabin.
Visit spectacular Amicalola Falls, only a short drive from Blackberry Mountain passing through "Apple Alley" with all the farmstands.
At River Majesty, wildlife is very abundant and very likely you will view deer, eagles, wild turkeys, otters, beavers, water fowl, bears and other wildlife in this protected wildlife refuge in Blackberry Mountain. Please be respectful of the environment.
Don't miss a picturesque train ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway through the North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains along the scenic Toccoa River from Blue Ridge, Georgia to Copperhill, Tennessee. The train runs March through December for spectacular Georgia Mountain scenic views through the lovely North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains and along the Toccoa River. The Christmas Express begins running the weekend after Thanksgiving to a day or two before Christmas in December. In the summer season, the train excursion can be combined with Ocoee River rafting.
