A permanent zip line would attract too much attention. This is public land that gets hit pretty hard.

I like the zip line idea. Just make it level. Clip your bridge onto it with one of those carabiners with the pulley built in and pull yourself across.
This idea sent me down a tangent last night. I spent the rest of the night researching how to make zip lines. However after numerous YouTube videos, I believe this is a viable idea.
Your right the tight line, not actually my idea of a zip line could be done. It would take a stout wire rope and substantial anchor points to keep the wire tight enough not to sag.You could do like @EricS said and just have it level, then pull yourself across.

I see MJH’s video above and that line is definitely doable. I was stuck on the image of a zip line from tree to tree Maybe I need another coffee this morningYour right the tight line, not actually my idea of a zip line could be done.

Did this in my younger days, but I had on swimming trunks and it was summertime!Rope swing.
Joking
But maybe not lol, I would try it
I see the PFD idea and I'll just say to make sure that you have a very buoyant pfd and high-topped waders. Also be mindful that a PFD likes to put you on your back.
I generally just use the tube as insurance. If you're in Canada you've got a lot colder temps than I'm used to. I do not advocate wading in something that you know you consistently can't touch bottom on, tube or no. Some guys do and use flippers to move, but at that point you really need a boat.
People die every duck season in my locale it seems. Trying to tackle too much water with too little boat.
Just be safe.
Waders and a pfd (life vest) would also work. Pretty easy to stash and you do't have to blow it up.
also, one thing to consider, what is you happen to kill something? Your method needs to be able to get your game back across as well. Here, I believe I have to bring the whole carcass out, so I would have to bring at least a dolley in there with me if I were able to connect. Then, I usually carry about #25 pound of equipment. That will also have to be able to make the journey. I'm thinking the best thing to do would be to use an inflatable raft. You could make a small grapel that you could throw across(barring it isn't very wide) to help you fight current. if you bought quality rope and a decent raft with pump, you could definitely leave it hidden some where that is at least hard to find.
Have you thought about just getting a helicopter to drop you off?
Helicopter sounds perfect, but it will need a whisper mode like Blue Thunder so nothing gets spooked!
This creek is small, so I can pull a downed animal across it through the water on a rope from the far side after crossing.
