The La Loche River is a small river in north west Saskatchewan. The distance from its source at the south east end of Lac La Loche to its mouth at the north end of Peter Pond Lake is 56 km. The river is bridged by Highway 956 about 5 kilometres from its source. The Kimowin River flows in from the west. ==History== Two kilometres from the mouth of the La Loche River lies the old site of Bull's House. Bull's House was an outpost of the Hudson's Bay Company during the fur trade.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/8059/3.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =https://sites.google.com/site/portagelaloche/home/census-1906 )〕 This hamlet may have begun as an North West Company post in 1795. A century later in 1895 according to Father Penard of the La Loche mission there were six families living there. In 1906 only 12 people remained.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =https://sites.google.com/site/portagelaloche/history/2-bull-s-house )〕 Oxen and horses used for hauling freight at Methye Portage were sometimes wintered there. During periods of high water that flooded fields at Bull's House hay was cut a few miles away at Hay Point on the east side of Peter Pond Lake for the animals. It was also called the ''Riviere La Loche Post'' or La Loche River Post. An important fishery was located there and when the fishery at Ile a la Crosse failed one year Bull's House was able to provide the village with fish. All that remains of Bull's House is a cemetery, a few cabins and a path leading to Peter Pond Lake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Loche River (Saskatchewan)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
