how deep is reynolds river crossing

I'll put in my two bits worth even though I've no recent knowledge.
Both times I've driven across in the dry season (june/july) it has been deep, over the bonnet of the troopy and the camper has been totally submerged except for the roofrack.
On both occasions there has been a vehicle on the northern bank with a hydraulicked engine, 1st time a V8 Bronco, second time a diesel Patrol.
I would treat it with due caution, walk it first and if in doubt don't try it.
I'm not a local so no current knowledge.

When I crossed the Reynolds it was over the bonnet of my Troopy (HJ45 with snorkel) and lapping 6 inches up the windscreen. The rear wheels were lifting (Floating). Don't walk it unless you are sure there are no crocs. I believe there is a detour/bypass - no-one told me until after I crossed so I never checked it out.

I'm not sure what would be worse. stuffing your motor trying to cross? or the thought you have to now get and and walk back to the bank.................. I'm kinda thinking the later would freak me out .... having to walk or panic swim lol.

A bit late to help with the initial question, but I did the Southern access track from North to South about 3 weeks ago in my '05 Hilux, towing the CT. The road only opened three days before we did it. The two creeks up near Blyth Homestead were much deeper at about 600mm. The Reynold's crossing was a fizzer in comparison. It is a pretty crossing as you drive along the creek bed a bit, but no more than 400mm deep, so would be a bit less now I suspect. A new V8 VW 4WD had seriously drowned in one of the creeks near Blyth the day before we went through.
I don't remember the creek names. Just got back last night and haven't unpacked yet. If anyone wants them, I'll dig out the maps.

This road is a great drive. We did most of it in second and third gear at around 20KPH. But it is a very pretty and great to get off the bitumen and away from the crowds.

We went right through to the Daly River Road. There are signs saying a snorkel is recommended (which we have, plus a bit of lift), but the water was not as deep as near Blyth Homestead. The Reynolds crossing is much wider though.

The marker posts at the creek near Blyth indicated it was 600mm at that point. Your bow wave ads a couple of hundred mm which is not a problem on short crossings, as long as you don't stop!!

You are right about not going too fast. We came across a bloke in a Troopie near Mitchell Falls who had done a crossing a bit fast. Put his fan through the radiator and ripped 3 blades off the fan. We were able to help with the radiator with some Knead It I carry, but the fan made things run a bit rough.
