The depth depends on so many different things including the state of tributaries that empty into the river.

The Army Corps of Engineers has to maintain a 9 ft depth across a 400 ft width of the river, for the barge traffic, but that is by no means the deepest part of the river.

The record depths for the Beale Street gage in Memphis is 234.31 feet as the record high with a record low of 173.91 feet. At that gage the river is very narrow compared with up and downstream widths, so it would include the deepest part of the river.
