Many states border Canada. Name one: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, or Alaska.

The U.S.-Canada border is the longest international border in the world at approximately 5,525 miles (including Alaska). Thirteen states share this border.

Alaska is unique — it borders Canada but is not connected to the other 48 states. It's the only state that borders Canada on its east side.
