Burton Waters is a large marina development situated directly on the Fossdyke Navigation, approximately two miles by water west of Lincoln city centre.

Covering around 140 acres overall with fifteen acres of water space, it offers over 200 commercial moorings and serves as a practical access point onto the Fossdyke — widely considered the oldest navigable man-made waterway in Britain, originally constructed by the Romans to link Lincoln with the River Trent.

From Burton Waters, boaters can head east along the lock-free Fossdyke toward Lincoln's Brayford Pool, or travel west to Torksey where the navigation meets the River Trent, giving onward access to the broader inland waterways network and, via the River Witham and Boston, to the North Sea.

Walkers and cyclists can also join the Fossdyke canal trail nearby, which connects with National Cycle Route 64.
