Very easy road, no where near a "4" difficulty. The majority of this short road is well-packed and easily traversable in most stock vehicles. 4wd was not needed. There is one section with a dip about 6" deep, and easily avoidable with the proper tire placement. This road rates no more than a 2. It makes a nice easy detour off of Tillman if you want to check out the lake.
