Swift Creek Reservoir, Reservoir in Chesterfield County, Virginia, United States

Swift Creek Reservoir is a man-made lake in Chesterfield County, Virginia, covering about 1700 acres (690 hectares) and created by a dam. The water is fed by eight streams, including Little Tomahawk Creek and Tomahawk Creek itself, and serves both as a water supply for the region and as a recreational space.

The reservoir was constructed in 1965 to supply water to surrounding communities and manage flood risk. Since the 1990s, a Watershed Management Committee has overseen water quality and land use in the region to protect this resource for the long term.

The reservoir's shoreline is occupied by two planned developments, Brandermill and Woodlake, whose residents reach the water through private docks and launches; Sunday Park access is limited to Brandermill residents. The reservoir supplies about 20 percent of Chesterfield County's drinking water, so the water and its wooded banks are part of everyday domestic life for these neighbourhoods.

There is no public access to the reservoir. Access from Sunday Park is limited to Brandermill residents, and other entry points are private docks and launches within the Brandermill and Woodlake communities. The reservoir lies in Chesterfield County, Virginia, and supplies 20 percent of the county's drinking water.

The reservoir's watershed covers 61.9 square miles (160 km2) and drains eight named tributary creeks: Little Tomahawk, Tomahawk, Swift, Otterdale, Deep, West Branch, Dry and Fuqua. Its 1,700-acre surface holds roughly 5.2 billion US gallons, and it supplies about 20 percent of Chesterfield County's drinking water.
