History

Across the lake from Descharme where the Descharme River flows to the Clearwater River is the old town site of Descharme. In the 1950s it had a filleting plant,a store and an airstrip with a hanger.

In 1974 Descharme had 48 people with no facilities and no road (an unpaved road has since been constructed linking the hamlet with Secondary Highway 955).

Recently the residents were offered homes in the town of La Loche.
Many residents relocated there however about 14 people remain in the community.

Descharme may be the last of the old winter camps used by the residents of La Loche.
