as the best fishing spot in Mitchell, as it has a 5–6 feet deep pool at the bottom where the majority of the carp are seen and caught. Once caught, some fishers will release the carp into the open river, therefore extending the range in the Thames that have carp. Mitchell is also home to the West Perth Wetlands, a location frequented by migratory bird species. It has become a popular spot for Birders from all over Ontario and parts of the U.S. The site was converted from a decommissioned sewage lagoon and includes two ponds that provide two distinct habitats for birds, a shallow front pond for shorebirds and dabbling ducks and a deeper back pond for ducks, swans and geese to swim.http://www.mitchelladvocate.com/2015/10/19/west-perth-wetlands-a-hotspot-for-birds-birders-alike Places of worship Bethel Free Reformed Church (Free Reformed Churches of North America) St. Vincent De Paul Roman Catholic Church Trinity Anglican Church (Rev.
