Where to find out if the Fox River is open to boaters?

We struggle every time the water gets high to find a resource with current updates on the waterway. I've attempted contacting IL DNR with no help. I've called the police, fire dept. parks and recreation, as well as the fox waterway website. We have NO luck finding out if the Fox River between South Elgin and St. Charles, IL is open or not unless we drive down there. Isn't there a resource somewhere????
