- In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Long Lake is one of the largest lakes in Westeros. It is of historical importance as the site of a major battle. In 184 AL, one hundred and fourteen years before the start of the novels, the King-beyond-the-Wall, Raymun Redbeard, assembled a large army and, thanks to the laxity of the Night's Watch, was able to scale the Wall at an under-defended location. The army made it as far as the shores of Long Lake, where it was caught between the armies of the Starks coming up from the south and the Umbers pursuing the wildlings from the north. Lord Willam Stark and Lord Harmond Umber, the Drunken Giant, destroyed the wildling host. However, Lord Stark was beheaded. His younger brother, Artos the Implacable, slew Raymun Redbeard and ended the battle.
- The Long Lake was a large freshwater lake in the Vorkosigan's District on Barrayar; the village of Vorkosigan Surleau was on the eastern edge of the lake, with cliffs behind it. A ruined fortress was above the village on the cliffs. The vacation home of the Vorkosigans was to the north of the village, set back a bit, and past three other large properties set along the lake at the time of Shards of Honor. Many more homes surrounded the lake by the time of Memory.
- It once lay just south of the Woodcutter's Cottage and north of the Gingerbread House. The long lake was surrounded with moss-bedecked willows. The trees were shelters from the aerial observations of the witch Dahlia.

| abstract | - The Long Lake was a large freshwater lake in the Vorkosigan's District on Barrayar; the village of Vorkosigan Surleau was on the eastern edge of the lake, with cliffs behind it. A ruined fortress was above the village on the cliffs. The vacation home of the Vorkosigans was to the north of the village, set back a bit, and past three other large properties set along the lake at the time of Shards of Honor. Many more homes surrounded the lake by the time of Memory. Boating, swimming, and fishing were popular activities. The lake had a 200-meter deep section, which was where Piotr Vorkosigan sent the lightflyer that had carried Negri and Gregor to his home at the official outbreak of Vordarian's Pretendership. Miles and Simon Illyan found the lake's piscine population far too cunning for normal fishing techniques.

In 184 AL, one hundred and fourteen years before the start of the novels, the King-beyond-the-Wall, Raymun Redbeard, assembled a large army and, thanks to the laxity of the Night's Watch, was able to scale the Wall at an under-defended location.

His younger brother, Artos the Implacable, slew Raymun Redbeard and ended the battle. The tardy forces of the Night's Watch arrived too late to join in the fighting, so Artos ordered them to bury the dead. The lax Lord Commander, Jack Musgood, became known as 'Sleepy Jack' for allowing the wildling army to cross the Wall unmolested.
- It once lay just south of the Woodcutter's Cottage and north of the Gingerbread House. The long lake was surrounded with moss-bedecked willows. The trees were shelters from the aerial observations of the witch Dahlia. Some time later, it appears shifted to the north of congruence of rivers surrounding the Gnome Isle. It is apparently surrounded by willows on its southeastern bank. The Ancient Well appears to lie to the southeast of it, and a rock with a hole, a rotting stump (with what appears to be a log next to it) and Woodcutter's Cottage lies to the northeast. The witch's Gingerbread House lies somewhere to the east.
