Not the deepest gorge but the deepest water level. I know it's variable depending on the season, what I'm trying to find out is what the deepest river is at any given time compared to the other rivers at the same time.
I've been told it's the Green River in Kentucky but can''t find any info to support or refute this.
If you can please provide URL (link) to web site that has this info.
Thanks,
Dave

For its width, at 25 feet, the Pocomoke River is the second deepest river in the world, after the Nile in northeast Africa.

“For its width, it is the deepest river in the United States,” said Doug Levin, director of the Earth Mapping Laboratory at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

About 400 feet wide below Snow Hill, the depth of the Pocomoke ranges from 7 to 45 feet, averaging about 15 feet.

The deepest river in the US might be considered the Truckee, which drains Lake Tahoe, the second-deepest lake in the US.
Otherwise I would suspect the Mississippi, but it would depend on the year and season since river level varies so much. At its deepest it's about 200 feet deep.

I believe it is currently the Green River in Utah, as it flows (or doesn't flow) through the Flaming Gorge. (Although using the criteria of a dammed river the Colorado is probably the deepest at Boulder Dam.)

Green River Kentucky it is 600 feet deep in some places and has caves under the river bed.
