It is located a short distance off New York State Route 211 near the eastern village line.

The station has long been among the least developed on the Metro-North system, with a shelter on the bare concrete low-level platform but no roof, and a 104-space parking lot across the street.

A short distance west of the station, trains enter the 5,314-foot (1,620 m) long Otisville Tunnel under the Shawangunk Ridge, the longest in the Metro-North system and one of only two outside of the city.

There is a long siding beginning just west of the station that allows trains to wait if one is coming through the tunnel.

When trains coming from the other direction are approaching, passengers board on the siding via a wooden platform on the tracks.
