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).

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
