At Hickory Knob, the service is in the form of a “wireless cloud” that covers the park’s restaurant, lodge rooms, swimming pool area and meeting facilities, as well as the historic Guillebeau House.
Across the state, free wireless Internet access is now available in and around the ranger station at Myrtle Beach State Park, in and around the park store at Devils Fork State Park on Lake Jocassee, in and around the Visitors Center on S.C. 11 at Table Rock State Park, in andn around the office at Santee State Park on Lake Marion, and at the Drummond Conference Center at Lake Greenwood State Recreation Area.
