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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
