Default Aviation Pioneers Return to Chicago Lakefront

As far as I can tell, there are no publicly accessible docks that would work
with any kind of floatplane.

I forget who it was but somebody was running for office and was going to
land a Grumman off Navy Pier and make a grand entrance to a campaign stop.
They never did it because of high winds on that day but the plan was to moor
the plane and use a shuttle to get to shore. I take that to mean that there
are no places to easily get a shore without getting your feet wet.

I fly a Lake Buccaneer.

Interesting. Are there any docks you can dock a Seaplane at Chicago
Lakefront? What kind of Seaplane do you fly, Travis?
