The Carl T. Johnson Hunt and Fish Center, located in Mitchell State Park, is named for the founder of the Michigan Conservation Foundation who is a life-long supporter of hunting and fishing. The center is universally accessible.

The spacious lobby features an information counter, marsh diorama and wall-size aquarium stocked with native Michigan fish. The center was constructed by the DNR with financial assistance from individual donations and from the Rotary Club of Cadillac Foundation.
