A dock system comprises a shore base with a train of disengageable dock module components comprising floatable modules with connector assemblies for releasably connecting the modules. The system includes laterally spaced posts, with lake bed engaging dock supporting base parts. The module components are vertically slidably on the posts to move from a lower floating position to a raised position safely above the water. A module transport device is operable to move the modules sequentially forwardly to form a train as the modules are sequentially connected or to move the modules sequentially rearwardly to remove them to shore as the modules are sequentially unlocked.
