Along the east side of the village, heading north, is Avonlea Creek. Avonlea Creek is a tributary of the Moose Jaw River and it joins the Moose Jaw River near Rouleau. About 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south-east of Avonlea, is Avonlea Dam, which was built on Avonlea Creek between 1963 and 1964, creating the Reg Watson Reservoir. The reservoir is the village's only water source.
