Fox River, Chain O' Lakes continue to rise
Emergency officials in three counties are keeping a close eye on Fox River and Chain O' Lakes as rising water inches closer to homes.
The Chain and Fox River from the Algonquin Dam north are closed due to dangerous boating conditions and floating debris, the Fox Waterway Agency announced today.
Crews also are working to remove a 10-acre bog blocking the channel between Grass Lake and Lake Marie.
