Located on the banks of the Gregory River and home of the world famous Gregory Canoe Race held every Labour Day weekend.

The Gregory River is spring fed and flows all year. It offers excellent canoeing and the opportunity to catch barramundi and sooty grunter. Gregory is now at the end of the bitumen and is an ideal place to stay before going to Lawn Hill National Park.
