Difficulty

Center Grade Road is one of the few main roads passing through the Richloam Wildlife Area and as such, is generally wide enough for 2 vehicles, fairly packed dirt, and an even grade. There are some areas with loose sand, thick mud, steep shoulders, and pitting/ruts in the road however, these obstacles are easily managed or avoided entirely and the large majority of SUVs or larger vehicles will be able to successfully complete the route.
