Maskenthine Reservoir is a 100-acre impoundment located in Stanton County, Nebraska, approximately ten miles east of Norfolk in the rolling hills of north-central Nebraska. Constructed in 1976 as a flood control structure for the town of Stanton, this recreational fishing destination is owned and managed by the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District. The reservoir features a 1,500-foot long earth dam that stands 53 feet high and was the first project in Nebraska funded by the Resources Development Fund. With a permanent pool storage of 927.5 acre-feet and a drainage area of nearly 6,000 acres, Maskenthine offers anglers a well-maintained fishery complemented by extensive recreational amenities including camping, boating, swimming, and hiking opportunities.
