Confirmed from Higginsville Trail (Woodfern Section) Access' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Higginsville Trail (Woodfern Section) Access
The easternmost access to the Higginsville Trail (originally the South Branch Railroad). East of this point the line runs onto private property in Neshanic Station before reaching the bridge over the Raritan River. Heading west the trail is in pretty poor condition and could use some clearing of brush.
