Are you talking about the creek south of Millet a few km's.
We went down it 2 weeks ago all the way to Coal lake and back.
It's flooded in a few spots and mostly quads on it.
In places the water was a foot or so deep.
We plan to go again.

Its likely a little late now, but in the future I would stronlgy suggest not doing the creek ride in daylight hrs. Especially on the weekend.
I have lived in Wetaskiwin for yrs & have done lots of riding here. That creek is normally brutally dangerous, not from ice conditions but from the sometimes hundreds of guys on it during the weekend. The snow is normally gone, so its pure ice. Lots of drinking & by about mid afternoon your have tons of guys ripping around the blind corners with no worries of oncoming traffic.
I have heard tons of stories of wrecked machines & close call collisions.
The better riding is to go a little further south, hit the creeks there where there is tons of snow still on them & almost no riders.
