In Metra's zone-based fare system, Grayslake is in zone 4. As of 2018, Grayslake is the 103rd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 470 weekday boardings.[1]

As of February 15, 2024, Grayslake is served by 37 trains (17 inbound, 20 outbound) on weekdays, by 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays.

Parking is available on both sides of the tracks, along the east side of Lake Street, the south side of St. Paul Street, and north of the intersection of St. Paul and Slusser Streets.

Grayslake is the only station on the [Fox Lake Subdivision](/source/Fox_Lake_Subdivision) with two tracks and two platforms. Because of this, Grayslake is used as a [passing siding](/source/Passing_loop) to allow trains to pass, and to allow a few midday trains to terminate here. Another Metra station in Grayslake is located on the [North Central Service](/source/North_Central_Service) at [Washington Street](/source/Washington_Street%2FGrayslake_station). No connection is available to Washington Street station, but the two lines do connect at [Prairie Crossing](/source/Prairie_Crossing_station).
