"Le Canal de Haute Perche est un canal de la ville de Pornic, situé dans le département de la Loire-Atlantique et la région des Pays de la Loire.

Description
Le canal prend sa source dans la commune de Chaumes-en-Retz (commune déléguée d'Arthon-en-Retz) et se jette également dans l'Océan Atlantique à Pornic, où du port, on peut remarquer une écluse aujourd'hui inutilisée."
L'écluse protège le canal contre les différents niveaux d'eau, les marées, l'eau de mer dans le port.

"Raisons de sa construction
La construction du canal devait originellement servir à relier l'Océan Atlantique au réseau du Pays de Retz, par l'Acheneau et le Tenu. Or, ce projet, pouvant être pourtant bien utile, a été avorté."
