Walking from Philadelphia to Burlington, Ontario? Impossible.

You **cannot walk** from Philadelphia, PA, to Burlington, ON, because **Lake Ontario** separates them. The shortest water crossing is ~50 km (30 mi) from the Niagara region, but no pedestrian bridge or ferry carries foot passengers directly between the two cities. Options:

• Drive: ~560 km (350 mi), 5.5–6 hrs via I-90/I-190/QEW.
• Train/Bus: Amtrak/VIA Rail or Greyhound/Megabus to Toronto, then GO Transit to Burlington.
• Fly: PHL to YYZ (Toronto Pearson), 1.5 hrs.

Walking would require circling the western end of Lake Ontario (Hamilton/Niagara) – ~150 km extra – and crossing the Niagara River on a bridge (pedestrian access on Rainbow or Peace Bridge). Total walk: ~500+ km, 100+ hours. Not practical.
