About Lake Burke

Lake Burke is a public boat ramp in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Burke Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 2 waters: Tidal Potomac from Key Bridge to Indian Head MD and Tidal Potomac from Indian Head to Cobb Island MD.

The main water here is Tidal Potomac from Indian Head to Cobb Island MD. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8579629, Marshall Hall, Md., the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 27.3 mi from this ramp.
