The station can platform a 12-car train and is fully wheelchair accessible with ramps from street level.

Southwest of the station the train crosses over Reynolds Channel via the Wreck Lead Bridge.

The average commute time between Island Park and Penn Station is 45–50 minutes.

Due to an increase in development on the south side of the island,[7] the station was closed in July 1922[8] and the name was moved to the site of the old flag stop formerly known as "The Dykes."

The site of the former Jekyl Island Station is now occupied by a residential cul-de-sac named D'Amato Drive, which is only accessible from Parente Lane North.
