There seems to be some confused folks here. Are you looking to start in High Point? Hightstown is pretty far from there (near Trenton) and I'm not sure if the trail goes through there.

Agreed. As a resident of Hightstown, can confirm it does not go through.

Hey folks, I've been out for a while and haven't noticed anyone mention it - the road to Moore's Beach in the Southern end of the trail appears to now be permanently closed. The gate is supposed to only be closed in the Summer but it was locked today with a sign saying closed to vehicles and authorized use only. The only thing I found online was a PDF file from last year talking about the road degradation and some crab nesting areas. I was with my kid so I didn't feel like making the 2-mile round trip on foot, but it looks like that area will be inaccessible for now.

Yeah that’s a shame. I got there last spring to a similar sign about birds.
