The township is surrounded by and part of many national and state parks. As of the 2010 United States census, the township's population was 1,998,[1][2][3] reflecting an increase of 173 (+9.5%) from the 1,825 counted in the 2000 census, which had in turn increased by 93 (+5.4%) from the 1,732 counted in the 1990 census. Sandyston's growth in recent years has been attributed to the influx of people from more urban parts of the state and even New York City, located less than away.
