I have been coming to Rangeley with the Evans party for many years and love the cabin we've had at Rangeley Manor. A continuing problem for me, and I suspect for others getting older, is access to the lake. I wear water shoes but walking on the pebbles and rocks is very difficult--slippery and dangerous. I have fallen several times and have had to be helped in and out of the lake. I love to swim but am often reluctant to go into the water. I think it would be very helpful if there were a dock with stairs to make getting in and out of the lake feasible, or else, perhaps, creating a sandy entry that would take you in and out to about thigh level. The lake is such an intrinsic part of the pleasure to be had at Rangeley Manor, it seems a pity to make it so scary for some of us to enjoy it.
The basic problem is not the small pebbles right at the shore, but a little way in the rocks get larger and more slippery.
