About

  • The Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing Center, at the popular Mitchell State Park in Cadillac, offers a range of programs for all ages. The center includes both archery and pellet gun ranges and offers scheduled shooting programs throughout the summer. The center offers group tours and guided hikes which explore the 2.5-mile Heritage Nature Trail leading through the woodland and Heritage Marsh.

    The center also has an auditorium where hunter education classes are often held, and an exhibit hall displaying the rise of sportsmen and sportswomen and their contributions to more than 150 years of Michigan history. There are also plenty of fishing opportunities within walking distance. You can purchase hunting and fishing licenses at the center,  or at a nearby retailer.

Programs

Nature education for teachers and families

  • In response to the majority of school-aged children doing school from home either full time or part time, our education staff has put together a series of live, virtual lessons for teachers to book for their classrooms, and a wide variety of videos, virtual tours, activities and webinars for children to do at home.

    Learn more about these resources at Michigan.gov/DNREducation.
