The Toms River, as you likely know, drains a huge area. I just cannot imagine you running into serious trouble. If you are healthy and under 60, I say go for it, but with a Buddy. Bring your cell with an aerial map on it that tells where you are. If you have an issue, drag the canoe to the closest hard road, then call uber and go back and get your vehicle and return for the canoe.
