Free Public Wi-Fi Across County of St. Paul

The County of St. Paul runs four seasonal campgrounds spread across its lake country: Floating Stone on Floatingstone Lake northwest of Ashmont, Lac Bellevue south of the Town of St. Paul, Stoney Lake to the southeast, and Westcove on Vincent Lake to the north. Each one has its own beach, day-use area, and boat launch, and each draws campers and day-trippers from well outside the county through the summer camping season.

MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at all four campgrounds, so campers and visitors can check the weather, video call family, or get some work done from a picnic table without relying on cell signal that can be thin once you leave the highway. All four hotspots use the same network name and password, so once you connect at one campground your device remembers it at the others too, along with every other MCSnet sponsored hotspot across rural Alberta.
