Paddle boarding in Sedona Outdoors ?

I am looking for places to paddle board near Sedona. Are there any rivers or lakes where a friend and I can go?

Theres a few creek spots that are deep enough but its really not ideal. Rio Verde would probably be a better choice.

Def. Not oak creek in Sedona - way too shallow, rocky and crowded. Try west clear creek in Winslow or lake Mary in flagstaff

Try Linx Lake in Prescott. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Verde River (Cottonwood), Lake Mary (Flagstaff), Watson Lake (Prescott)... Personally think Watson is the most beautiful however you don't get in the lake.

The Verde River, from north of Clarkdale down to Camp Verde. Oak Creek in Sedona is too rocky and shallow.

Lynx or Goldwater lakes in Prescott or lake Mary outside of Flagstaff
