There are many factors that make someone disabled and it's not restricted to being wheel chair bound. Are there any other docking areas on the lake that have handicap docking spots?

I understand parking spaces and ramps, but why do you need a dock? Is it different in some way or is it provided just so you don't have to wait like the rest of us? The purpose you mention, seems to me, to grant you some kind of preferential treatment. None of us waiting for a place to dock likes to be uncomfortable and waste unnecessary energy. What is your disability that requires you to have a spot before anyone else?
