The road that ran down from the High Pass, crossed the river Anduin and then plunged among the trees of Greenwood the Great (later called Mirkwood). It followed a nearly straight course through the central parts of the forest, somewhat to the south of the Mountains of Mirkwood, and emerged on the banks of the river Running.
Notes

Given that this road was typically referred to at the end of the Third Age as the 'Old Forest Road', we might imagine that 'Forest Road' (without the 'Old') was a name used in earlier times. Though this is not stated specifically, it would indeed appear to be the case. At least, our only references to the name 'Forest Road' are connected with the passage of troops to the War of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age.
