Loch McNess (Nyungar: Wagardu Lark), also known as Yanchep Lake, is a freshwater lake located near Yanchep in the northern part of the coastal plain of Perth, Western Australia. Loch McNess is part of the Wanneroo wetlands, a chain of lakes, and is part of the Yanchep National Park. Water from the lake was used to refill the underground pools and streams in some of the nearby caves, however the project was ultimately unsuccessful and subsequently discontinued.
