I don't know who you've talked to but Lost Lake is one of the worst places I've dived. The vis can get to 6-8ft but I've only seen it that good once. It's situated right behind a barnyard and corral. and I mean right behind...as in it collects the corral run-off, if you get my meaning!
The entries are steep and slick in most places although there is one corner where you can walk in easily. There's plenty of plants in it but I've seen few fish and a couple of turtles.
While you're diving, the cats, geese and potbelly pig(s) that run loose will consider anything left on the ground free game. And you can imagine what there is to step in all over the place.
This is just my opinion after several dives there in desperation. The only way you'll know for sure is to check it out yourself, just make sure you pack your stuff and lock your car before getting in the water.
