No-wake ban lifted on Fox River
Fox Waterway Agency officials said, due to improved conditions on the Fox River, the no-wake restrictions have been lifted on the lower river between the Algonquin Dam and the Stratton-Bolger Lock and Dam in McHenry.
Ingrid Danler, executive director of the Fox Waterway Agency, said the ban was lifted at 8:45 a.m. Friday after river levels subsided below the safe boating levels.
While the entire system is again open for boating, she said debris and other natural and manmade objects may have shifted during the winter and spring thaw, so boaters should use caution.
