How do you carry your bike across sketchy swollen creek and river crossings?

With the past 2 massive winters here on the west coast we have creeks that look like class 4 rivers. There are logs to walk across and with my 30lb analog bike no problem, there is however one crossing that is a twig of a log at the start and the rope is low and pulls you left. My new Pivot shuttle e bike is much harder to find a spot on the frame to carry keeping either end from dipping down. Just curious how you all navigate sketchy water crossings while carry your bike?

We don't.

Yeah, I don't do any deep crossing that would ruin a bike if you dropped it in. The risk isn't worth it.
Of course I do stream and creak crossings which is a quick carry across or sometimes a ride across.
In which case you just need to find the bikes balance point and easiest method of lifting so your arms dong take all the load.
