Location of the Long Lake
The Long Lake was an oval-shaped lake situated at the confluence of the Forest River and the northern reaches of the River Running south of the Lonely Mountain.
The lake was about twenty miles from north to south, and about five miles from east to west.[1][2]
History
An artist depiction of the Long Lake
The town of Laketown, referring to this lake, was (twice) built entirely upon the lake itself, which thus formed a natural moat.[3] After Smaug's demise, his dying body fell into the lake with a mighty crash.[4] Smaug's remains could be seen sticking out of the water from the shore of the lake, but people feared them and treasure-hunters did not dare approach the carcass.[4]
