Monopoly is a newer easy trail at Dewey Mountain. The trail is made possible by the 30+ acre expansion of Dewey Mountain adjacent to Mulflur Avenue and also thanks to the efforts of the Town of Harrietstown and Dewey Mountain Friends.

Monopoly is a fun, flowy mountain bike loop with short downhill and uphill sections, mostly through a wide open pine forest. The trail is a loop within a loop, and can be ridden in both directions.
