Braddock Reservoir[2] is a protected reservoir about 38 kilometres (24 mi) south-east of Swift Current in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The reservoir is along Wiwa Creek,[3] which is a tributary of the Wood River, in the Old Wives Lake endorheic basin.[4] The community of Braddock is near the lake's western end. Access is from Highway 721.[5]
In 1951, Braddock Dam was built across Wiwa Creek creating Braddock Reservoir. The dam is owned by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency.[6][7]
