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:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The cowboy ... is well on his way to becoming a figure of magnificent proportions. Bowlegged and gaunt, he stands as the apotheosis of manly perfection. Songs, novels, movies, magazines, and operettas have made the least inquiring of us well acquainted with his extraordinary courage, unfailing gallantry, and uncanny skill with gun or lariat. The farmer, meanwhile, sits stolidly on his tractor, bereft of romance and adventure.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
