How Many States Share A Border with Canada and Name Them?

[Yavin4]

No googling.

[hobbit709]

1. Are you counting the ones with a lake in between?

[Yavin4]

2. Are The Lakes Considered Canadian or US Territory?

Hmmm.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. They are half in each - divided right down the middle, pretty much.

[Yavin4]

8. Soooo....

The US states that border the lakes don't border Canada, correct?

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. I would (and below, I did!) count them as bordering.

Since, for example, Wisconsin extends up into Lake Superior half way, and Canada extends halfway down, the borders meet.

If the OP means only bordering land-to-land, then Wisconsin does not border Canada.

22. Michigan (the Lost Province) only borders Canada over water

but it is bridged in several locations, and tunneled in one.

[LeftyFingerPop]

23. Yes, tunneled from Windsor to Detroit. n/t

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. These are the only ones I can think of right now...

New York
South Dakota
Kentucky
Oregon
Utah
Kansas
West Virginia

That's 7 in total.

4. Was Sarah Palin your geography teacher?

[Yavin4]

6. Fail. Epic Fail.

No Arne Duncan money is going to your school.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Oh, that's easy - Orlando, Manitoba, rickets, a leather Studebaker, twelve geese, and Iron Man

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,

Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. And Alaska.

With a slight possibility that Ohio might share a border in Lake Ontario.

[Yavin4]

12. CORRECT!!!!!

YOU ARE THE SMARTEST POSTER IN THE LOUNGE!!!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I just added one that I left out.

[hobbit709]

16. You left out Alaska and technically not Wisconsin.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. I added it in, and see above for why I included Wisconsin.

[Yavin4]

14. Correct!!

Well done.

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. OK, seriously now and without looking, this is strictly off the top of my head...

So I will probably miss a few....


Maine
Vermont
New Hampshire
New York
Pennsylvania via Lake Erie
Ohio via Lake Erie
Michigan
Wisconsin
Minnesota
North Dakota
Montana
Idaho
Washington

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. And Alaska!

[doc03]

24. Does Ohio's and PA'S border extend into lake Erie

or is the Lake Federal property?

[Mr. Ected]

20. Canada the State?

Or Canada the city?

[Richardo]

21. Can I name them first then count them?

Discalimer - I only counted land borders.

Washington
Idaho
Montana
N Dakota
Minnesota
Michigan
New York
Vermont
New Hampshire
Maine
Alaska

25. From west to east...

Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin*, Michigan, Pennsylvania*, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

*Great Lakes boundry





Now to check with Google Earth...


Okay, Michigan's is a Great Lakes boundry, and I didn't realize that Ohio also shared a Great Lakes boundry with Canada. -1, I guess. 12/13?

[krispos42]

26. Fuck, I forgot Alaska. 12/14? n/t

[krispos42]

27. And Wisconsin doesn't border Canada at all. 11/13?

Damn the Upper Peninsula, anyway!

[LynneSin]

29. Depends on how you define 'border'

Technically Ohio and Wisconsin are all separated by a lake. But I could jump in a lake and swim to the other side of Canada without crossing another state.

[LynneSin]

28. Ok let's see how my geography works out

Washington
Idaho
Montana
North Dakota
Minnesota
Michigan
Ohio (Technically it's separated by a lake)
New Work
Vermont
Maine

Ok I'm going to post this now and then check. If I'm wrong I'll edit and admit it.

Damnit, I forgot New Hampshire.

And technically Wisconsin could be consider a borderstate although like Ohio there's a lake in the middle.

Crap forgot Alaska too.
