(technically, the answer is "none", since the two share a lake border.
Lake borders are no different than river borders, no matter how large
the lake. Unlike the sea, there's no distance limit on how far into a
lake the territory of a state or country goes. They always go out to the
middle of the lake or to some other negotiated line. Which means that
Michigan borders on Illinois and Minnesota, as well as Wisconsin,
Indiana, and Ohio. It also means Wisconsin does not border on Canada,
while Ohio and Pennsylvania do.)

Wrong.

True, but irrelevant.

That's at best a matter of opinion. I'd say they differ in that
river borders are land borders and lake borders aren't. But that
too is irrelevant.
 
Well, they're water borders rather than land borders.

Essentially true.

Wrong.

I have seen it asserted that Toronto has a border with New York state.

Why is this irrelevant?

What's so special or different about lake borders that make them
different than river borders? Just saying one's a lake and one's a river
is not enough. How are they fuctionally different?

How is that wrong? Please eludcidate.
