I've always wanted to try Clear Lake in Oregon. That's supposed to be amazing. It's also very cold, drysuit only.

From my experience swimming, not diving, L. Superior is very clear (and cold). Michigan & Huron not too bad either. Would probably avoid the other 2, but I'm no expert.If you're out for the U.S. overall, not just the southeast, and assuming we're probably not focusing on quarry diving, there's the Bon Terre mine in St. Louis, Missouri, if guided cold water diving of an old mine is your thing. Haven't done it myself, but it's a fairly well-known place.
Some people dive parts of Dale Hollow Lake, shared by Tennessee and Kentucky.
The Great Lakes are vast and they are freshwater. Some diving there falls within your viz. requirement, I believe. I've got a friend in Chicago; I've been tempted to head up there & try it, but someone deep, cold freshwater just doesn't have that strong a draw on me right now.
