Difficulty
Flatwoods Road is rated a 1 due to its maintained gravel surface, gentle grades, and lack of sustained obstacles. While larger potholes may be encountered, they are easily avoidable and do not create significant clearance or traction challenges. The road width, available pull-offs, and consistent surface keep the driving experience predictable and non-technical.
