The Canoe Fight took place on November 12, 1813, during the Creek War near the junction of the Randon's Creek and the Alabama River in Clarke County. It was a confrontation between frontiersman Samuel Dale and his men and a band of Creek warriors. The incident took on the quality of legend because it took place in canoes.
