Pointe du Lac is an elevated station with a particular arrangement specific to the stations serving or had served as a terminus. It has three tracks and two platforms. The side platform serves as the arrival platform while the island platform serves as the departure platform for services towards Balard. The arrival platform, due to it being the terminus of the line, does not have an awning over it, a unique case for an elevated station on the network. Orange “Akiko” style seats are installed on the island departure platform.
