Water’s Edge will be an 8-mile drive from downtown Salisbury and easily assessable from Interstate 85. High Rock Lake could be that, Wetzel said. He looks at Lake Norman as a place to which people will drive from Rowan County for an experience.

Other than the bar, they restaurant will have its usual food trucks offered during the summer. He plans to open their patio bar in a few weeks once inspections have been completed.
