Churn creek crossing this year??

[wild.coast]

Hoping to ride south from Williams Lake along Gaspard > Mud FSR. After a bit of research looks like there are some water crossings to do at Churn Creek? With the big snowpack this winter and hot hot weather I'm a bit worried that rivers will still be swollen. Any thoughts on the crossing? Any route recommendations to backtrack in case we can't cross it? We'll be carrying extra gas, hoping to fill up at Dog Creek IR, but worried about getting stuck out there!!

The Water crossings are still a bit high, better to do this route August or later.

We went for it. Little backroads trip from Bella Coola to Tyax. Churn water crossings were no problem.

It seems that heat wave melted lots of snow. Did cross those creeks too and water levels are lower than usual in this time, as seen in pictures above.

Does anyone know if China Head is closed and is it a 'hard' closure?

Many 4x4's and motorcycles go trough every year, so it's open, but it's just the road that is open - your are not supposed to go off road in any capacity.
