Le Fils Slough is a protected, open slough off the St. Johns River in Florida, offering a calm and accessible paddling environment suitable for all skill levels, including beginners. The primary launch point for paddlers is the Le Fils Slough Boat Ramp, which provides basic facilities including bathrooms and parking. A common and recommended route is a loop of approximately 8 kilometers or 5 miles, which begins by paddling around a small island and journeying up the slough itself. After about 45 minutes of paddling, a stop allows for a short hike to a small wild citrus grove. The route continues through a narrow cut back to the main St. Johns River, passing Iron Bend and arriving at Hammock Bluff Park, where there are opportunities for further hiking on trails about a mile long. The return trip utilizes the gentle current of the river back to the original launch point. The overall character of the paddle is easy and protected, with no significant mention of strong currents, heavy boat traffic, or surf zones, making it a straightforward day trip. Wildlife and natural features include the mentioned citrus grove and the surrounding riverine and slough environment.
