    "StayConnected"
    Resort Offers FREE Wi-Fi at Shasta Lake


    May 12, 2007, Shasta Lake, Redding, CA - houseboats.com announces free wireless connection service at their Jones Valley Resort location on Shasta Lake. Laptop or PDA users can access the wireless connection within 100 feet of the main dock/pavilion area of Jones Valley Resort.

    "With the advances in communications and the demand from our customers, we wanted to offer the latest technology to enhance our houseboater's experience," says Rich Howe, General Manager of Jones Valley Resort. "Now boaters will be able to get up to the minute email, news, weather, fishing reports, etc."

    houseboats.com operates five resort properties offering luxury houseboat rentals: New Melones Lake Marina, Barrett Cove Marina on Lake McClure, and Jones Valley, Sugarloaf & Lakeview on Shasta Lake.

    Other than the two marinas listed below, the next closest Wi-Fi access that I'm aware of would be in the City of Shasta Lake or the City of Redding. Redding is located about 10 to 22 miles south of the lake depending on what part of the lake you're driving from. The City of Shasta Lake is just a few miles north of Redding and is a little closer to the lake.

    The three Starbucks coffeehouses listed below have T-Mobile Wi-Fi available (wireless internet access). This wireless internet service requires that you have your own Wi-Fi-equipped portable computer.

    You can start up a new T-Mobile account on-site at Starbucks after connecting to their Wi-Fi hotspot log-in screen with your browser. To access the log-in screen just open your computer's web browser and type tmobile.com in the address bar.

    Here's an espresso bar / tobacco shop in Redding that offers internet access on their computers with a purchase at their espresso bar.

    Tobacco 'N Brew (internet access with purchase at espresso bar - no wifi)
    2143 Hilltop Dr
    Redding, California
    (530) 223-2049



    To use the "FedEx Kinko's" or "Tobacco 'N Brew" options (their wired computers) you would probably need to set up a web-based email account of some sort before your vacation. This would allow you to send and receive your e-mail from any computer. You can have your other e-mail addresses forwarded to this account. Many internet service providers also allow you to access your e-mail through the web. Check your internet service provider's home page for details.

    Another option for internet access would be through some sort of web-enabled cellphone (or a laptop computer hooked to a cellular phone.) The lake has cellphone coverage in many areas.

    There may be other internet access services available in the Lakehead area (Sacramento Arm of Shasta Lake). I will be doing some more research on public internet services in the Lakehead area. If you know of any other public internet access that would be handy for tourists, or have some ideas or suggestions, please drop me an e-mail -- I may add it to this page.
