Lone Butte is located southeast of 100 Mile House and is immediately north of the recreational lake-community of Green Lake. The vertical structure of Lone Butte forms a prominent monument that rises more than above the surrounding lowlands of the Cariboo Plateau. Its appearance is like a butte-like hillrock, similar to the more famous Devils Tower in Wyoming. The ranching and recreational community of Lone Butte is located on the mountain's north side. There are two communication towers located at the butte; BCWireless on its level summit and Navigata on its eastern flank.
