ASK THE TRIB: History of ‘Lake Verchota’ uncertain

Q: When I was a kid, there was a sort of lake in La Crosse surrounded by the Causeway, La Crosse River and Mississippi River. My mother referred to it as Lake Verchota. She said that many years previous to that time there was a city official (maybe a mayor) named Verchota who somehow was behind the development of this lake with the intention of making it a recreation area. My question is whether this naming is a reality or is it a type of joke?
