By adding a large amount of quick lime, if available.
Additional:The city of Butte, Montana has nearly at the center of town, a huge strip mine with a lake at the bottom. As a result of mining operations, the lake is highly acidic. So much so, it is dead, and wildlife, bird, that have landed on it die.
One of the solutions they began working on several years ago was to use the bacteria present in manure to help neutralize the acid, and they planned to begin dumping waste from cattle farms into the water. In theory this should work over time, although I have no idea how much time would be necessary. I've not heard if the project continued.
a substance with a high pH, such as baking soda.
The suitable base is calcium hydroxide, lime or lime water.
Limestone - can also add quick or slaked lime but they are quite alkaline.
Dump chalk in it.
A base raises the pH.

The world's biggest sweet water lake is Lake Superior.

The main bodies of water in the Midwest are the five Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior. A large lake but much smaller than the Great Lakes is Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin.
Lake Michigan, Lake Huron and part of Lake Eerie
Add a base to the spill in the lake
The amount of water that will neutralize a can of soda will depend on the size. However, an 8 oz. soda will require 845 ounces of water to neutralize.
Water has no ability to neutralize either acids or bases, it can only dilute them.
If you have a base an acid can neutralize it, giving water and a salt
Because that lake has a acidic pH, you can neutralize it by putting basic pH in it.

Lime is a strong base. When you add a base to an acid it turns it neutral. So by adding the lime to the water after a while it'll turn into precipitation itself and neutralize the acid. This is also known as acid-base neutralization.
You could add some alkali compounds into it to neutralize some amounts of the acidity in a lake. For the long term, you could find the source of the acidity and control the emission of it. For example, sulfur dioxide released into the air can dissolve in water and fall as sulfuric acid, acidifying the lake.
