Atkisson Reservoir is a 23-acre impoundment located near Bel Air, MD in Harford County.

The reservoir receives water from surface flow and precipitation, with a portion of its watershed consisting of forested land and agricultural fields. The snowpack in the area contributes to the reservoir's water level during the winter months.

The surrounding area is also used for agriculture, with fields of corn and soybeans visible from the reservoir.
