A little more digging turned up tommangan's Ohlone Wilderness Trail Guide, who mentions that Murietta Falls only run after "several days of rain".  With the Bay Area getting nigh-endless rain for the last week, it seemed like an ideal time to...

Bring water, especially in warm weather.  Poison Oak was popping up everywhere.  Stay on trail, and keep your eyes peeled even then.

Park at the first lot as you enter the park, head east on the trail and you'll soon pick up BART markers which will point you around the whole loop.  Parking is free after Labor day.
