About Box Springs Mountain Reserve
Box Springs Mountain Reserve is located on 3,400 beautiful acres of land that overlook the cities of Riverside and Moreno Valley. The Reserve once was covered in dense Coastal Sage Scrub, but recent wildfires have allowed non-native grasses to thrive. Visitors should be conscious of their activities while visiting the Reserve in order to protect wildlife and their delicate ecosystem.

Absolutely recommend! Quite a few trails to go through. Everyone can do this. Some slopes may seem steep but they aren’t. I have back issues so I needed to pace myself and that’s all. Stairs on multiple parts as well. Of course many donkeys all around. You can hear them. Very friendly animals. They will come straight up to you so just be cautious if you get scared. We did see a coyote as we walked our trail coming back down. So again be cautious and aware of the surroundings. There is a portable toilet. It was surprisingly clean but did smell. I always bring wipes and stuff to use. I didn’t see a water fountain but there are 3 picnic tables I believe. We went at 10am, Plenty of parking. As you drive up to the parking you see many donkeys and please drive carefully bc they will stand in the street. I throughly enjoyed this place. Definitely one I will come back to again and again.
