Route Description
State Road 794 begins at the intersection of Yamato Road and Military Trail (Palm Beach County Road 809) in the country club neighborhoods of Boca Raton. The highway heads eastward as the eight-lane arterial boulevard. State Road 794 continues through the country clubs, passing to the south of Broken Sound Golf Course and to the north of the local residential developments. After the intersection of Old Course Way, the highway expands from four lanes to six, and while approaching Broken Sound Boulevard, expands to eight lanes. Broken Sound Boulevard parallels Yamato Road for a distance to the north, while the residential development becomes commercial. From here, the road turns to the northwest, passing the Boca Raton Tri-Rail station.
After crossing a riverbank, State Road 794 continues eastward as an eight-lane arterial, which crosses the Tri-Rail line after intersecting with ramps to Interstate 95 southbound. The highway continues eastward as a six-lane arterial into the partial cloverleaf interchange, crossing under the interstate and entering a densely populated part of Boca Raton. The road becomes surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential developments before crossing a local freight railroad and State Road 811 (the Dixie Highway). Continuing eastward, State Road 794 goes for a short distance further into Boca Raton, ending at an intersection with U.S. Route 1 (and unsigned State Road 5).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
