State Route 799 (SR 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 SR 800 approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) northeast of Freeport to its eastern terminus at its intersection with Redeye Road (County Road 60 or CR 60) about three miles (4.8 km) south of Deersville. Continuing north from SR 799's eastern terminus is Mallarnee Road (CR 21).

A state highway, state road, or state route is usually a road that is either numbered or maintained by a sub-national state or province. A road numbered by a state or province falls below numbered national highways in the hierarchy. Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other.

U.S. state constituent political entity of the United States

In the United States, a state is a constituent political entity, of which there are currently 50. Bound together in a political union, each state holds governmental jurisdiction over a separate and defined geographic territory and shares its sovereignty with the federal government. Due to this shared sovereignty, Americans are citizens both of the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons restricted by certain types of court orders. Four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names.

Contents

SR 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 SR 800 to the village of Deersville. SR 799 is designated as a part of the Tappan-Moravian Trail Scenic Byway. [4]

Spur route

A spur route is a short road forming a branch from a longer, more important road such as a freeway, Interstate Highway, or motorway. A bypass or beltway should not be considered a true spur route as it typically reconnects with another or the same major road.

Clendening Lake

Clendening Lake is a reservoir located in Harrison County, Ohio, in the United States, formed by damming Brushy Fork, 0.5 miles (0.80 km) East of Tippecanoe.

Village Small clustered human settlement smaller than a town

A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.

National Highway System (United States) highway system in the United States

The National Highway System (NHS) is a network of strategic highways within the United States, including the Interstate Highway System and other roads serving major airports, ports, rail or truck terminals, railway stations, pipeline terminals and other strategic transport facilities. Altogether, it constitutes the largest highway system in the world.

SR 799 begins at a T-intersection with SR 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, SR 799 roughly parallels the Clendening Lake shoreline about one-quarter mile (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. SR 799 crosses small bays formed by the lake twice, and comes to an end at its intersection with CR 60 (Redeye Road) just past the lake's northernmost extent. The road continues another three miles (4.8 km) north to Deersville as CR 21 (Mallarnee Road). [6]
