WiFi now available at Four Louisiana State Parks

Louisiana State Parks is now offering free wireless Internet access to RV enthusiasts and other campers. Sites participating in this new service, and the overnight accommodations available, include:

* Bayou Segnette SP (Westwego): group camp, campsites
* Fairview-Riverside SP (Madisonville): campsites
* Fontainebleau SP (Mandeville): campsites
* Poverty Point Reservoir SP (Delhi): cabins, lodges, campsites

State Parks guests with a laptop that possesses wireless accessibility (i.e., a wireless card) should detect the signal automatically while on park grounds. Guests are advised that technical support for the wireless service is not available at these sites.

The addition of this newest guest service is a pilot program, to determine the feasibility of offering wireless Internet at Louisiana's State Parks. Having information, such as lake conditions or weather forecasts, can add to the experience of the visitor. In addition, Internet access can provide an alternative activity for family members who are less inclined to participate in outdoor recreation.
