How deep is the Chesapeake Bay?
The Chesapeake Bay is not that deep. It’s actually pretty shallow. The average depth is about 21 feet. There are lots of areas in the Bay where a person who is only six feet tall can walk without even getting his hair wet. In some spots, like in the very middle of the Bay, the water gets much deeper. There are even a few narrow areas that can be up to 174 feet deep.
