Just curious.

Depends on which section..I do believe there is spots on the the indiana border that will go 70ft..I think 35-40 ft is about tops along the ohio border..However I could be wrong.

I know its at least 10ft or so for navigation purposes, I think I read somewhere it averages like 20ft give or take...

Each pool is different, the farther south you go the deeper it gets. Up here the minimum depth of the navigational channel is usually between 13-14 feet. The average depth of the main channel is 18-26 feet and there are holes on sharp river bends, below tailouts and under highway bridges anywhere from 40-75 feet. So to answer your question, it's got good depth
