About one kilometre further on, just past Lynch's Bridge at Ballarat Road, is Newell's Paddock Wetlands Reserve.  It's not particularly picturesque, but there's usually plenty of water birds here, so it's worth stopping for a while to see what's around.

Approximately 1.5 kilometres further on, is the Footscray Community Arts Centre, a lovely old bluestone building with an amphitheatre.  There's also a good cafe here.

At various places along the Footscray section, you can see decorated underpasses and mosaics in the pavement.

Not long after the Footscray Community Arts Centre, the Maribyrnong River path comes to an end, about 600 metres short of where the Maribyrnong flows into the Yarra.

There's no public transport conveniently close to the end of the path, so the best option is either to retrace your steps, or else to finish at the Footscray Community Arts Centre, and walk a short distance to Footscray railway station from there.
