Borssum is located near the banks of the Ems and has a sluice to drain the low-lying surrounding area.

The Borssum district, like the districts to the east, belongs to the Oldersum drainage association.

The Borssum lock is of considerable importance for recreational shipping in East Frisia, as it connects the Emden harbor (and thus access to the sea) with the Ems side canal (and thus the inner East Frisian waterway network) without using the route through the Falderndelft and the Kessel lock - which saves time for the skippers and also means fewer bridge openings are necessary.

From the lock in Borssum you have a great view towards Dollart.
