Just off the 7 · 10 min south of Actinolite on Hwy 37
Tweed
Stoco Lake, a very small jail, and the most persistent Elvis sightings in Canada.
Why detour
Tweed is the corridor’s best story-per-kilometre detour. Ten minutes south of Actinolite on Highway 37 you get: a genuinely pretty village on Stoco Lake with a beach park right in town, one of North America’s famously tiny jailhouses (three cells, much photographed), and the thing Tweed is actually famous for — Elvis. Since the late 1980s, Tweed has been the epicentre of Canadian Elvis sightings, a legend the village adopted wholesale and celebrates with a festival, a straight face, and considerable merchandising discipline.
It’s also a real town underneath the lore: a working main street, good butter tart odds, and lake swimming on a hot day. And it’s a genuine trail town — the Trans Canada Trail on the old CP corridor comes through from Kaladar and Sharbot Lake, and a popular riding loop starts here, past Stoco Lake and ultimately all the way north to Bancroft.
Billed as Ontario's largest multi-day music and western event — rodeo, 10+ performances across multiple stages, and Stoco Lake as the backdrop, at Stoco Lake Lodge.
See & Do
Tweed Memorial Park & beach (Stoco Lake)
Swim in Stoco Lake right in the village, with a playground, picnic shelter, and boat launch alongside — plus a cenotaph and the locally sculpted Lone Wolf Statue. Health unit tests weekly in season; check the posting board after heavy rain.

Trans Canada Trail & the Bancroft loop
The corridor trail comes through from Kaladar, and the signature Tweed-to-Bancroft ATV loop starts here — past Stoco Lake and north into the Hastings highlands. Butter tarts on the return leg.

Lester B. Pearson Peace Park
An unexpected find in a small village — walking trails leading to a Peace Pagoda, a genuine gift from the Japanese people to Canada, on land donated as a Centennial project.
