June 28-July 2, prior to the recent rains, we were pushing through sandbars rather often. Lost count of the beaver dams on the entry rivers, but only had to get out of the canoe for 4 of them.

Just came out of Iron Lake via Moose River on 7/24/20. The river is shallow in several places and there are two beaver dams that you will likely have push off of with one foot on the dam. Other than that, water levels were decent all the way to Agnes. Only saw a few groups on Iron and no one on the portages until we got down to Nina Moose and farther south.

Bottle portage was a muddy mess on the Iron Lake side as the lake level is so low the lake receded about 15 feet east of its normal shoreline, leaving a 15-foot stretch of mud 12" deep to trudge through to load the canoe. The recent rains helped a little, but not enough.

Came out the 2nd via Moose River N. and it's low in places and there'll be a couple dams you need to pull over or power through. I think one we had to get out to pull across.
