Fast, flowy, all around fun way around the mountain without going to the summit. The 'whoops' as the locals call it is a ludicrously fast steady downhill with small ditches that the trail zips through. Very fun in a train of riders.

What is now known as the Whoop Trail was originally a game trail that about 30 years ago was named the “Whoop-dee-doo” trail. Over the years the name has evolved to just The Whoop. Dave Lieskovsky is celebrating his 65th year and in honour of his role in initiating PACA and his ongoing commitment to encouraging mountain biking in the South Okanagan, Penticton's Wednesday Night Riding Group has installed a bench for Dave to enjoy the view at the top of the Whoop Trail.

Access Info

Once at the DQ table, head uphill to the right (towards Penticton, not down and up through the gully). Veer right again 30' past the table/fence.
