Bullshead Creek is a watercourse in southern Alberta that flows through a landscape of rolling hills and grassland before reaching its confluence with the South Saskatchewan River near Medicine Hat. The creek feeds into Bullshead Creek Reservoir, a 142-acre impoundment located approximately 26.5 kilometres northwest of Elkwater Townsite along Eagle Bute Road, situated within the Grassland-Mixedgrass Natural Region of the South Saskatchewan Land Use Framework area. The surrounding terrain is characteristic of Alberta's southern prairie, with open grasslands and gently rolling topography. The reservoir's shoreline stretches approximately 4.49 miles, and the area sits near the communities of Medicine Hat, Redcliff, and Bow Island. The lower reach of Bullshead Creek meets the South Saskatchewan River just above Strathcona Island Park in Medicine Hat, a confluence set beneath dramatic cliffs that define the river valley landscape.
