CR 532 begins at an intersection with CR 541 on the border between Medford to the north and Medford Lakes to the south in Burlington County, heading east on the municipally-maintained two-lane Tabernacle Road.

CR 532 heads away from Wharton State Forest and continues into Woodland Township, passing through more miles of forests before passing Chatsworth Lake and entering the residential community of Chatsworth.

In Chatsworth, CR 532 heads south for a brief concurrency with CR 563 on Chatsworth-Green Bank Road, crossing an abandoned railroad line, before turning east onto Chatsworth-Waretown Road.

[1][3] Route 72/CR 532 enters Barnegat Township in Ocean County, where it comes to a crossroads with CR 539.

After this interchange, the route continues east past forest to the north and wooded residential subdivisions to the south, becoming Wells Mills Road as CR 532 reaches its eastern terminus at US 9 in the community of Waretown.
