SR 795 begins at a T intersection with East 2nd Street about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) northeast of downtown Winnemucca and immediately northwest of the city limits.

[Note 2] (East 2nd Street heads northeast through Weso to end near the south bank of the Humboldt River.

Just after the river crossing, SR 795 has an intersection with East National Avenue, which heads south-southwest to northwest Winnemucca.

SR 795 then curves to a northerly course before turning to head west-northwest and reaching its northern terminus at US 95, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of downtown Winnemucca.
