Course

The Gregg River forms at the confluence of a number of minor creeks near the Cardinal River Coal Mine, at the base of Mount Sir Harold Mitchell. The river then flows northwest, taking on a number of tributary creeks before joining the McLeod River, which in turn flows into the Athabasca River. The Gregg is bridged by Alberta Highway 40.
