Loch Stack is a large, irregular shaped freshwater loch in the Northwest of Scotland. It lies approximately 4 mi (6.4 km) southeast of Laxford Bridge and is surrounded by mountains. Ben Stack rises steeply from the loch's southwestern shore and Arkle lies directly to the north.
The loch was surveyed between the 6 and 8 September 1902 by T.N. Johnston and James Murray and later charted as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.
