Robert E Barnhill Sr Access provides public fishing access to two freshwater ponds in Tarboro: Newbold Pond and Etheridge Pond.

Both sites feature T-shaped piers with gravel launch pads, ADA-accessible paved walkways, kiosks, and picnic areas, with parking available (30 spaces at Newbold Pond, 50 at Etheridge Pond).

The access points are managed by NC Wildlife Resources Commission and offer bank fishing and small boat launching opportunities on unpaved grounds.
