Iodine Springs Reserve is a 219 acres (89 ha) Nature Reserve located in Wildomar, California. It protects a part of the Temescal Mountains. The northern portion of the reserve is a mountainous, mature chaparral ecosystem dominated by Chamise. The lower foothills give way to limited Inland Coastal Sage Scrub. The southern portion of the reserve is disconnected from the northern by La Estrella Road. This portion is flatter and non-native annual grasses and ornamentals reflect a history of disturbance as it was once the location of a former residence, which is no longer present. Some current threats to the reserve include illegal dumping, off-highway vehicle use, and non-native weeds.[1]

It is managed by the Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District.[2]
