Dueling Creek is a tributary of the Anacostia River in southern Maryland in the United States, located in the town of Colmar Manor.[1]
The Bladensburg Dueling Grounds on the creek was a favorite spot for duels in the 19th Century, and was the site of a duel between Stephen Decatur and James Barron.[2]
