They are in the process of removing the road to restore the integrity of the ecosystem in the preserve. To the best of my knowledge the preserve is not closed to paying visitors, who are more than welcome to hike in from the day use area at the main entrance. There are lots of nice trails in the middle of the park between the preserve and the RV campground. Also keep in mind that the preserve is a PRESERVE so the way it is administered is going to be different than the rest of the park i.e. preserve the ecosystems with more priority than ease of visitor access.

Seems the park is doomed to become a commercial RV park. I have been going there since 1988, loved the quiet and remoteness , now all I see are campers!!!! Also, the bike path stops at Topsail Road, no access to 30A entrance. I am saddended to know that access from Hwy. 98 is no longer available. Seems the park is doomed to become a commercial RV park.
