Lac Gregory is a body of fresh water crossed from north to south by the Tourilli River, located in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, in the unorganized territory of Lac-Croche, in the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality, administrative region of Capitale-Nationale, in province from Quebec, to Canada.
The watershed of Gregory Lake is served by a few secondary forest roads for the needs of forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in the sector; recreational tourism, second.

The mouth of Gregory Lake is located northeast of Tourilli Lake, west of the course of Jacques-Cartier River and north of the confluence of the Tourilli River and the Sainte-Anne River.[2]
From the mouth of Gregory Lake, the current descends on generally towards the south, following the course of the Tourilli river to its confluence with the Sainte-Anne River; thence, the current generally flows south along the current of the Sainte-Anne river to the northeast bank of the Saint-Laurent river.[2]
The toponym "Lac Gregory" was formalized on December 5, 1968, by the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[3]
