The Otisville Metro-North station serves the residents of that community and the town of Mount Hope in Orange County, New York. Trains depart regularly for Hoboken, 81.6 miles (131 km) away; travel time is about an hour and 50 minutes.

It is located a short distance off NY 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 minimal parking. However, as of 2006 the MTA, Metro-North's governing body, is addressing at least the last and building a new parking lot across the street.

A short distance west of the station, trains enter a mile-long (1.6-km) tunnel under the Shawangunk Ridge, the longest in the Metro-North system and one of only two outside of the city. There is thus a long siding beginning just west of the station to allow trains to wait if another one is coming through the tunnel the other way, and as a result Otisville appears to be a double-track station. When trains coming the other direction are near, in fact, one will board on the siding via a wooden platform on the tracks (see photo).
