There's plenty of wakeboarding, canoeing and kayaking that you can do at the hollows in cary il. Then the new Three Oaks Recreation and park in Crystal Lake

I think every boater shold pay same water fee. And as long as we pay should have axis to using water way not to be restricted

We live on the river. We boat AND kayak. Both can be done safely, if done smartly. Do not add regulation that will punish those of us who bought our homes to live on and enjoy the waterway.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! This is why we live on the river and think about all the Marina’s and businesses OUT OF BUSINESS! Leave it alone!!!

Do not want the lower river to become a no-wake zone. That is why I own a home here on the Fox River.

I am against any legislation and/or regulation which would add more no wake zones to the Fox River.

Do not impose "No Wake" in the lower Fox River. I am a kayaker and have no issue with boat traffic. I can easily plan my day around it or paddle closer to shore.

Let them do the upper river first all the way to the Wisconsin border.

Changing the lower river will not only have a negative impact on homeowners and businesses, but will force more power boats to the Chain. You change one part of an eco-system like this, and there are ripples of unintended ramifications.

Do not move ahead with this. This is an open boaters river. Please leave it that way.

They don’t pay the fees then they shouldn’t have waterway access

Bad idea. Lower river homeowners fight flooding and pay taxes and fees for the privilege of enjoying the waterway. It's just plain wrong to take that privilege away.

The river is an active place power boats are just as important as any other watercraft
