Smooth and easy, 4x4 and low are very much not required. Some potholes here and there. Nice canyon views along the way. Lake is lovely and has a short dock as well as a launch for smaller boats. No overnight access or camping unfortunately and it is only accessible weekends and holidays. Watch out for cyclists.
