'''Loch Stack''' is a large, irregularly shaped freshwater [[loch]] in the Northwest of [[Scotland]]. It lies approximately {{convert|4|mi|km|0|abbr=off|spell=on}} southeast of [[Laxford Bridge]] and is surrounded by mountains. [[Ben Stack]] rises steeply from the loch's southwestern shore and [[Arkle (Sutherland)|Arkle]] lies directly to the north.
The outflow from [[Loch More]], which is about {{convert|1|mi|km|round=0.5|abbr=off}} south of Loch Stack, is carried (via Loch nan Ealachan) by the small river An Earachd into Loch Stack.

==Survey==
The loch was surveyed<ref name="bathy"/> between 6 and 8 September 1902 by T.N. Johnston and James Murray and later charted<ref>{{cite web|url=http://maps.nls.uk/view/74422299|title=Loch Stack (Laxford Basin) (Vol. 5, Plate 9) - Bathymetrical Survey, 1897-1909 - National Library of Scotland|website=[[National Library of Scotland]]|publisher=|date= |accessdate=6 May 2015}}</ref> as part of the [[John Murray (oceanographer)|Sir John Murray's]] ''Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909''.
