Route Description
This state highway exists entirely within the western part of Harrison County. State Route 799 is not a part of the National Highway System, a system of highways considered to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.
State Route 799 begins at a T-intersection with State Route 800 in Washington Township 1.25 miles (2.01 km) northeast of Freeport. From this point, passing first amidst some open fields before entering into a more forested terrain, with the occasional house appearing along the way, State Route 799 roughly parallels Clendening Lake about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) to the south, in the process entering Nottingham Township, dipping briefly into Moorefield Township before turning north, re-entering Nottingham Township, and then following Clendening Lake's eastern edge. State Route 799 crosses bays formed by the lake twice, and comes to an end at its intersection with County Road 60 (Redeye Road) just past the lake's northernmost extent. The road continues another 3 miles (4.8 km) north to Deersville as County Road 21 (Mallarnee Road).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
