4 lakes Lake Ontario does not border CANADA
In the west, the state of Montana has the longest linear border with Canada. In the east, the state of Michigan has the longest border, including the Great Lakes.
The United States has five Great Lakes at its northern border: Erie Michigan Superior Huron Ontario. The only US State to touch all five great lakes is Michigan.
In the Great Lakes region, the state that does not border a Great Lake is Michigan. While Michigan has coastlines on four of the five Great Lakes, it is the only state that is divided by the lakes, and its Upper Peninsula does not directly border any lakes. Other states like Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin do border at least one of the Great Lakes.
Not just one state has the five great lakes. In fact, the five great lakes aren't all in just the United States. Both Canada and the USA have some of the five great lakes. The border crosses right in the middle of each of the lakes, so Canada and the USA both have parts of each of the lakes.

the great lakes don't truly share a border with Canada tho a border runs thru them that divides them between Canada & the united states so it is true that the 2 countries share the border & it is also true that the 2 countries share the lakes but the 4 great lakes the 2 countries share namely Ontario Erie Huron & superior in ascending order are not only nearest to only one state but are actually partly within & thus partly also shared by the 6 states of New York Pennsylvania Ohio Michigan minnesota & Wisconsin in corresponding order tho Wisconsin shares only the lakes & not the border with Canada the 5th of the 5 great lakes namely lake Michigan which is not on the border but entirely within the united states & thus possibly not included in your question is however also nearest to because also partly within & shared by Indiana & Illinois
