how far is detroit from canada

Detroit is extremely close to Canada, with the city of Windsor, Ontario, Canada directly across the Detroit River from Detroit, Michigan, USA. The international border runs right down the middle of the approximately 2000-foot-wide Detroit River separating the two cities. The driving distance from Detroit to the Canadian border in Windsor is minimal—just across the river via bridges or tunnels that connect the two. More broadly, the driving distance from Detroit to Toronto, Canada, is about 370 kilometers (230 miles), and to other parts of Canada it can vary accordingly. The two cities face each other across the river, making Detroit essentially a border city to Canada.
