Ohio State Route 799
State Route 799 (SR 799, OH 799) is an east–west state highway located in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The highway runs from its western terminus at a T-intersection with State Route 800 approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) northeast of Freeport to its eastern terminus at its intersection with County Road 60 (Redeye Road) about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Deersville. Continuing north from State Route 799's eastern terminus is County Road 21 (Mallarnee Road).
State Route 799 was created in the late 1940s. This two-lane spur route was established to improve access to the Clendening Lake region. In addition, it provides an improved route from State Route 800 to the village of Deersville. State Route 799 is designated as a part of the Tappan-Moravian Trail Scenic Byway.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“Heaven is not one of your fertile Ohio bottoms, you may depend on it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... here hundreds sit and play Bingo; here the bright lights of Broadway burn through a sea haze; here Somebodies tumble over other Somebodies and over Nobodies as well.”

“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
