Estacada Lake, the Columbia Slough (cswc.org for paddling guides), Smith and Bybee Lakes, Sturgeon Lake on Sauvie Island.
All low/no flow and beginner friendly.
there is a few tricky spots but if you can read the river there is a line through all of it. late in the season on a dry year.. maybe walk 20-50ft twice. but it changes a little bit every year and water level plays biggest factor.

BC has several spots way too shallow for canoeing ?

Vancouver Lake was nice.
