I would see if in your area you can get calcium carbonate rock. Pile into the run off area so all run off water needs to run through the rock.

Hit the lake water with calcium carbonate as well. If you use a lime that is highly reactive and fast acting you could get some dangerous gases released quickly from water that has such a high acid concentration.

What ever you do make sure there is next to no potash in any of the lime you use. The potassium will react with the acid and release chlorine gas. One good whiff of that and your lungs are dink'd for life.
