Very few of the falls listed in
http://camelot.legendarydragons.com/cam-yell.htm
are described as "seasonal." All of the ones listed in
www.yellowstone-natl-park.com/wfalls.htm
are year-round, although they are all more spectacular in the spring.
Note that falls in Yosemite are quite a different matter.

A more complex answer than HowardR's is yes, the Upper and Lower falls of the Yellowstone River do flow, but with much less water than at other seasons, since much of the water is frozen above the falls. The Lower Falls can be utterly spectacular in the coldest part of winter, since a cone of ice often forms over about the lower two-thirds of the height of the falls (which is 308 feet high), and sometimes there is also an ice bridge across the top.
