Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Atkisson Reservoir is a 23-acre impoundment located near Bel Air, MD in Harford County. Originally constructed in the 1950s as a water supply source for the town of Bel Air, it now serves as a recreational fishing destination. 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 reservoir is stocked with a variety of fish species, including bluegill, largemouth bass, and channel catfish, and is a popular spot for recreational fishing. The surrounding area is also used for agriculture, with fields of corn and soybeans visible from the reservoir.
