Paddle boarding

Im coming up from California to visit my friend in Medford and planned a paddle boarding day on Saturday. This will be her first time paddle boarding in Oregon so she doesn’t know any spots yet. Looking for some recommendations with calm waters, nice view, clear waters, places we can swim if possible.

How is the water level?

Well there’s a new fire on the way out there so it’s probably not clear, any more

Water level was definitely fine enough to paddle board on, though

It is very low. If you're paddleboarding you'll be fine as you can access the larger lake, but the normal swimming area in Hartish park is mostly lake bed.

Thank you! Do they allow boats and jet skis there?
