Looking for any and all canyons around Phoenix!

Outdoors

Hi!
I sorta have a thing for canyons 🤷🏻‍♀️ I dunno!
Wondering if there are any neat slot canyons on any of the lakes to access via paddleboard! I have seen some at lake pleasant, saguaro, and canyon, but I’ve never really ventured in them so I’d love to hear what’s recommended!
Or, if there’s an easy (within 2 hr) drive to somewhere with a nice walkable canyon that’s also welcome!
I can really only find big name popular canyons when I google this so I’m really hoping the reddit community can help me out! Not looking for anything crazy, just want to be in a lil canyon I guess LOL

Thanks :)
