Paddleboarding

Wanting to sight see and enjoy the serenity of the Arizona desert? Paddleboarding will give you just that. Grab your paddleboard, whether you already own one or are renting from a local shop, and head down to the Salt River.

Paddleboarding offers an amazing experience of both adventure and serenity. As Mesa is conveniently located next to three lakes and two rivers, our city offers ideal conditions for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and other recreational, water activities.

Take your pick from stunning spots like the Salt River, where sunset paddle sessions showcase the breathtaking Red Mountain, or paddle along the cactus-studded walls of Canyon Lake and the stunning desert views on Saguaro Lake. Experience the Sonoran landscape like never before as you cruise along the tranquil waters.

Whether you're a seasoned paddler or trying it for the first time, local shops can provide everything you need, from equipment rentals to expert guidance. Ready to dive in?
